A Silhouette In The Crimson Shadows

At first it was quiet
Soft red reverie
Sultry evenings
The decay of the sun
A place to plunge into darkness
Escaping the mundane concerns of the day
Embrace the cold air
Pour wetness down the throat
And there she was
A silhouette in the crimson shadows
Regal beauty
Sometimes comic
Sometimes serene
I did not know how blessed I was
Soulmate
Friend
Confidante
We would walk through the fire together
Beyond flesh
Beyond blood
Safe in a sonic womb
A longing in the heart
That is finally put to rest
Love burning in the ashes
Of countless lifetimes
Abuse and pain
Redemption and healing
All in a stunning dream
Remembered at dawn
