Note: In one of my typical writing fits, I created a music playlist that encompasses the relationship between Abel and Johanna. (The entire playlist can be found in the A Slight Glitch community on Live Journal, along with all of the songs.)
Then, in another one of my typical writing fits, I suddenly had the idea on how I could use this for another bout of writing, and out of it came the idea of using the title of each song in a haiku that explained some facet of their relationship.
And out of that came...
The Songs of Their Hearts
I wish I understood
Though no one knows who I am
You know me so well
Passion is a risk
We take with each breath we draw
Danger approaches
Walking in the air
Savoring moonlit darkness
Dark angels in flight
The sands are falling
How much longer til they stop
And our hearts turn cold?
Now that I know you
Don't you dare leave me behind
Here all by myself
Unspoken prayers
For one who'd love me for me
But are you the one?
Tears fall in silence
But the pain in me subsides
I feel your embrace
Changing one another
In an unusual way
Loving each moment
Two fallen angels
With halos tarnished by guilt
Seeking redemption
Agony within
Cuts like fine Damascus steel
Mourning together
Cry little sister
For what we've done, and yet crave
Weep my tears of blood
Sorrowful angel
Holding her close as she sings
Death becoming life
Their hearts hide secrets
And to come in from the night
Means no more hiding
They gaze at the stars
Watching the night fade away
Into tomorrow
Denying passion
Is it lust, is it karma
Slaves to their desire
Strong, yet so fragile
How easily the heart breaks
The rain hides their tears
Both living in fear
Will tomorrow be the day
that they lose control?
If I ever speak
Words of everlasting love
Please don't answer me
Staying only friends
Safer, even as they long
To let it be love
The power within
It's the fear, tearing them apart,
That they are monsters
Heavenly Father
Deliver me from evil
Save me from myself
Mouth warm against mine
Breathe into me, taste my soul
Kiss my life away
Wishing I loved you
But my heart belongs to me
Even as it breaks
Never say goodbye
I will hear you forever
Through the mists of time
Never give up hope
We may yet be together...
If you still believe
