I created you with Carbon

 

 

Of late night and ghostly whispers

I created you with carbon

Black carbon made your eyes

Black carbon made you smile.

 

Your hair, could have been snakes,

But I did you a favour

Dark shadows of misty  black

I groomed it, just to match your eyes.

 

The mouth that I’ve kissed,

I created with sensual lines,

Full and happy, secrets untold

Carbon for your smile.

 

Those eyes, so  deep I love,

I filled it by careful time and strokes

Of life, when I could have made you blunt

Yes, safe in my art.

 

 

I created you with carbon.

Black carbon made you smile

Black carbon made you stay

Black carbon made you mine.
