far beyond the knowledge of any homo sapien:
she had a secret, whispering
"i like you better than
everything in the sky"
a kiss of death

rib to rib, thigh to thigh
ashes to ashes, dust to dust
one last kiss before we go
far beyond the knowledge of any homo sapien:

analysis:

crushed bodies, fused together
huddling for body warmth
perhaps poisoned by one another
far beyond the reach of any antidote

two souls, bones entwined
shackled to the ball and chain of time
maybe beaten beyond recognition
far beyond the help of any doctor


he had a secret, whispering
"these violent delights
have violent ends"
a drop of poison

For the second- the works of William Shakespeare.)
