Inspired by Phoenix's Chris/Vin video Seduces Me.
The lean, blue eyed figure sat, writing laboriously on a piece of paper. It was a beautiful, sunny day outside, but the man took no notice of that. He had something he wanted to say. Something that needed every ounce of poetry he could call forth from his soul. Something that required he find the perfect words. He would be satisfied with nothing less. Not for this.
Chris,
Everything you are: Gunslinger. Peacekeeper. Sinner. Saint. Friend. Foe. Many things to many people. And everything to me.
Everything you'll be: Someone's husband? Their lover? Their friend? Wherever you go and whatever you do, you'll always be who I see in every face that looks back at me.
Touches the current of love so deep in me: I never knew I could feel so much. With every glance . With every touch. You're a part of me now. Half of my soul.
Every sigh in the night: Sometimes you lay your head down, cradled in your arms and sigh. Weary. Other times you lean back and close your eyes before sighing. Relaxed. Content. And those treasured few moments when you smile and sigh in your sleep. Because then I can imagine that its me walking through your dreams. Making you sigh. Making you happy.
Every tear that you cry: Too few of them for the pain that you've endured. Your courage humbles me. Not for the tears you didn't cry. But for the ones that you did. The ones you shared with me.
Seduces me: You do. Every moment of every day. With your stubborn pride and strength. With your flashes of temper and your hidden tenderness. With everything.
All that I am: Ex bounty hunter. Wanted man. Sometime poet. Illiterate fool. All that I am I would give to you.
And all that I'll be: Forever your friend. And lover. If only in my dreams. Wherever I go and whatever I'll be, you'll still be the one that's everything to me.
Means nothing at all if you cant be with me: Id live forever with this bounty on my head if it meant having you with me. Freedom. Money. The very air I breathe. They ain't worth anything if I don't have you here, beside me.
Your most innocent kiss or your sweetest caress: The brush of cool fingers on my skin. The merest wisp of warm breath on my cheek. The sight of you, so near. Just a kiss away. The sound of your laughter in my ears. The smell of your hair as I lean close. My every sense is surrounded. Assaulted. Conquered. By you.
Seduces me: You do.
I don't care about tomorrow: A future that holds no promise of forever with you. I'm in no hurry to live it. May tomorrow never come.
I've given up on yesterday: The chains of my past no longer bind me. My life began when I looked up and saw you staring back at me.
Here and now is all that matters: You and me. Together. I hoard each precious moment that fate allows. I go to sleep each night praying that tomorrow will be another day with you. That maybe it will be the day that we become more than friends. The day I can touch you the way I want. The way I do in my dreams.
Right here with you is where I'll stay: The only thing that could make me leave you...is you. But until then, I'll be at your side every step of the way.
Everything in this world: Every leaf pales in comparison to the green of your eyes. Every strand of your hair puts the moonlight to shame. The breeze dancing through the air lacks your grace. Every still pond reflects your face.
Every voice in the night: Sometimes they laugh. More often, they cry. Haunting the night. For now I just listen. Can you hear them, too?
Every little thing of beauty comes shining through in your eyes: A pretty woman's smile. A little childs laugh. A fleeting moment of happiness over a shared bottle of whiskey. I can see it all in your eyes.
And all that is you becomes part of me too: Your sorrow. Your guilt. Your laughter. Your tears. I'm not sure any more which are mine and which are yours.
Cause all that you do seduces me...
And if I should die tomorrow, Id go down with a smile on my face: Because of you. Always for you.
I thank God I've ever known you: I ain't much of a praying man, but you make it easy to believe.
I fall down on my knees for all the love we've made: I remember a wise man once telling me that there were as many kinds of love as there were stars in the sky. And that friendship was among the brightest of those. You gave me that. Gave me love.
Every sigh in the night: I want to be there to hear every one.
Every tear that you cry: I'll be there to catch.
Seduces me Seduces me...
And all that you do...Seduces me.- Vin
The blue eyed man put down his pencil and flexed tired fingers. Then he picked up the piece of paper and began reading. Seeing if he'd found the perfect words this time. Shaking his head, he got to his feet and went over to the window. Tearing the paper into little pieces, he let the breeze carry it away.
THE END
