It's dark tonight hold me

Oh what am I thinking love
What unimaginable lightness of being overcomes me
Still I fall into darkness,
Still, without stillness
Where are the arms and legs of flesh
the true fingers cooling this fiery flight
the curve of hip
the scent of musky roses
to lay beside me
drink me into the moist warmth
of a darkness shared
until the morning is in the room once more
I need the weight of flesh when I feel this weight
Of my own fallible, fallen
Blood and bones
Sinking through the dry earth
Of rain
Of dry gray, common rocks
On a beach
Devastated by a waning tide







Very beautiful … and bittersweet … and sad.
