Rating: PG-13: (for love (even in death)

Prompt:
Disclaimer: Hey!  I own nothing.  But look at my new header!  It's Angel and Xander!  Yay!

Author Notes: It's been a long week sports fans, but Samhain approacheth!  Happy Candy Corn filled day to you all.  Sorry about the shortness of the epic poem.  Nothing I wrote really satisifed me.


Have I ever seen your eyes before?
Weren't they the ones that glowed against my skin?
I did not expect to love you
It flowed from deep within

You stood against me
For that should I not have hate?
But that which was shone in truth
Came from your inner gate

I shudder to think that I'll miss you
When I should be thinking of her
All my life I've sought redemption
When everything was but a blur

I've had and been them all the same
Madman and saint together
But that which will make me marvel
Is that which the fates has brought together

You will be mine true love
When this mortal coil is through
Let us not deny the past
Lest in time we be doomed

Chocolate brown and blazing black
These eyes, do they not see?
That thing which you have hidden
Is brought to light in me

Shall others be taught? -They must indeed
So this moment cannot pass
Who we are is all we are
And none of it can last

And so I say to the crimson tide
We follow the flow to the other side
I'll give you that which brings us hope
For all that life has given in even tide.
