Egg

So thin

I can see through your skin

Scared

Those violent shivers

Those beats in your veins

Delicate!

Now you move around,

Turning

Your trembling eyes meet mine

I can see through your eyes

Thinner

Grows your skin

Your heartbeats

Cramp!

Your light

So bright

It glows!

Your movements crash

This eggshell of yours

Keeping me an outsider

While I can see through you

It’s me you can’t see

My palms hold you tight

Enclosing you so strong that you’d crash

My love transmitted

Through the heartbeats in my hands

Your glow grows louder

Brighter

Echoing our silence

Then slowly fades

Like a burning sun at noon

Slowly kisses the ground at dusk

You melt in me

Within me

I grow brighter

Your light is now me

Your shivering veins and trembling eyes

Unite with mine

You’re my soul afraid to alone arise

And I’m your shell, steady and wild

A fierce woman we together form

A warrior and her dragon
