I Dont Know Where To Put This

he turned down
the lights and the sheets
and the world nipping at his heels
set candles ablaze and adored her
with the breath of his eyes
while he commanded their silhouettes
to take a shape ghosts would envy

she awakened
the walls and the tremors
and the skin that shelters their sins
fluttered her lashes and bowed down to
the rise of the demon in his heart
while she teetered through trembling lips
with the parchment of her soul

allowing his mouth
to meet her pleading inquiry
of being alight in heaven or hell
while he brandished his insignia
of taking a life and bearing
the promise of both
