kissing hands

keratin remnants

sunk deep in the flesh of my neck,

as you compel me with

words that only eyes can speak.

i am a man who kneels only to God,

and the one whom He has sent me.

traces of His love lie buried in the marks above my jugular,¹

a testimony carved by the hands i wish to always kiss.

i pray you feel the poison of my reciprocity,

course through the blue of your veins,

adorning the arteries of your heart as you have mine.

regarding the music: this is my personal arrangement of “No One Noticed” by the Marias. I used Archetype Tim Henson for my tones. This is 7 guitars stacked on top of each other: 3 nylons and 4 lead guitars.
