Breathing Rapture
Oh, love is shaped like cities burning
Soot and ash is stretched between
The sea and sky; these lonely islands
Kiss the buildings, black and silent
Here my eyes look towards the brightest
Point of light, like some great sign
And know the love--
I was reminded of the time I almost died
But do remind you close your eyelids
See the fine good colors that are left behind
Like flaming fingers tracing lines, it's kinda like that
Oh, love is shaped like cities burning
Sifting through the ashes after
We will find your life in laughter
Oh, the black and breathing rapture
