Ode to Severus

by sa1boy

Set ten years after Coming of age. The war is well and truly upon them. Many have died, many more still will. Harry takes a moment to reflect on his feelings for his lover Severus Snape. A companion piece to Coming of Age

Standard disclaimer, I own nothing but my imagination.

Ode to Severus
By sa1boy

Do you know how much dirt suits you?
I can't remember the last time we washed.
You know, the last time we really washed.
Water ran off your shoulders
Falling down your heavenly globes
Pooling into clouds of frothy 'you juice'

Do you remember when I couldn't look at you?
Your dark eyes affected my very being,
Scaring my 'timid little soul' you thought
Creating my 'Compass near North' I thought.
I love you for the direction you gave my life.
I may be a war hero, but to you I'm just your hero
As you are mine

I dream of your tongue taking me on rides,
To places my mind knows only with you.
And how your hands, skilled at killing
Lay soft caresses an angel could never hope mimic
And those eyes, oh those eyes, those eyes...
Reminding me that through passion and pain.
We will survive, we will be free
We will be.
