So take me in
beneath your burning body.
Suffocate the stars
when they dare to shine down
upon our embrace-
Allow me to invade your soul
my soft hands
un-labored
working to cause you pleasure-
Breaking your heart
with my tiny trembles and large sighs,
so greatly uninspired
but I,
I would create for you.
I would write for no other
and lend you a moment
of my inner silence-
Then you may understand
the war that beats
within my heaving chest
as you take me in,
beneath your soulful rain.
And as it rains
washing away our sins,
allow me a death by temptation-
My souls rejoice,
as you are a rose
etched by the sunlight of my love-
and your darkness,
in all its beautiful shadow,
echoes through
the silent night of my heart's twilight
When we are wrought with passion,
withered and aged tenderly by caress.
When all my dreams and fantasies
hold you captive-
a ship forsaken to the sea,
allow me then to be that sea,
to hold you beneath a stormy symphony
of touch-
Until the dawn
when the rains cease.
Then together, drunken
madly, recklessly so on the heart's sighs,
I will be love's sunrise
and you,
you will be my sky
