She looked
and
saw past
what I had become
Under the weight
of loneliness
Where I wear the universe
like a cloak
pressed around me
pinned
holding me close
dragging me closer
to the black hole
of its wild womb
~
She gathers up the shards
of warm fire laughter
and voices
that weave into my bones
and the monster
I have become
~
There in my darkness
She kissed me
She kissed me deep
I looked
and showed her my darkness
So what
she replied
Together we became
a frenzy
of a lunar dance
Intimacy on fire
the alchemy of souls
wanting to be a part of her
wanting to be a part of me
Want giving way
to need
A need to consume you
thus consume me
Sweetly
And I found light
I glistened
as she bathed me
in her translucent
essence
washing away
what I had become
