Kisses in the Reign

Laurels crown

And colours climb

Beneath and ever after

Held in sweet repose

When others silken the land

And give the voiceless song

Blood wreathed in ribbon

Flesh wreathed in mist

Promise, union, tryst

Kissed upon all my agonies

This dreaming held so delicately

Flesh of the sea

Upon skin of a rising angel

And the rain is singing somehow

These honours held and shared

So freely, among friends

A friend that I can speak to

Enfolded in these wings

As safe as I can keep you

Above and ever after

As now

Colours are climbing

Laurel's crown
