Blown away

Blown away

I lifted myself
to the edge 
of his chin
He kissed me softly
And I was so blissfully 
Blown away

He willed me to stay 
Gust of winds
thundered on
they hugged me starkly
And I was so helplessly 
Blown away 

He aimed at their heads
while they ran
terror-struck
He squeezed the trigger 
And they were mercilessly
Blown away

Reading of the poem: 

Delerium - Lamentation
