Echo and the Bunnymen: Lips Like Sugar Remix

Could she know 

In a world 

Where less is more

And more is less

The echo of her laughter

Resounding resonance

Nurtured devastation

Piercing facades

So strong in joy

That even fear

Was cut to the quick

As

Her savage soul

Burned fierce  

Darkness dissipating

A challenged caution

Or enticing invite

As souls seeking

Soft approach

Yet

He knew her

Most powerful form

Specific

As friend

First fast furious foundation

The tethered bedrock

From which they flew

Though they knew

The cracks

The scars

The hidden pain

The loss, the gain

Of the other

In the other

Forgiven

Redemption

Words unnecessary

For before and beyond all

They called each other friend

But deeper than that still

For friend

Is a word

That cannot describe

The fusion of acceptance

That generated the most furious passion

From the gentle action

Such as

The soothing burn

Of the electric touch

The graceful caress

Along the warmth

Of her jaw

And in his eyes

She rediscovered her joy

The pulsing hearts

Matching beats

Could she know?
