One Flesh Edit

Description

So why is this edit called one flesh? This was for a english poem that I did in school. The poem's by Elizabeth Jennings

Here's the poem:

Lying apart now, each in a separate bed, 
He with a book, keeping the light on late, 
She like a girl dreaming of childhood, 
All men elsewhere - it is as if they wait 
Some new event: the book he holds unread, 
Her eyes fixed on the shadows overhead. 

Tossed up like flotsam from a former passion, 
How cool they lie. They hardly ever touch, 
Or if they do, it is like a confession 
Of having little feeling - or too much. 
Chastity faces them, a destination 
For which their whole lives were a preparation. 

Strangely apart, yet strangely close together, 
Silence between them like a thread to hold 
And not wind in. And time itself's a feather 
Touching them gently. Do they know they're old, 
These two who are my father and my mother 
Whose fire from which I came, has now grown cold?

SO GUYS I'M PUTTING IN THIS BOLD AND CAPS BECAUSE I HAVE A IMPORTANT QUESTION: DO YOU THINK I SHOULD CHANGE MY DEVIANT NAME?

No one is here to see this. Crying 
Thankyou All ^_^
Have a nice day :D (Big Grin) :D (Big Grin) :D (Big Grin)

:) (Smile) I see this and the artwork is BOODIFULL!!!! Your name is pretty cool and unique so I think you should keep it-but this is only my opinion so you can do whatever you like. Your art BTW fits in so wonderfully with the poem-it's like it was made for it (although I guess, that was the whole point -.-")
