naked mystery
restless heat
the walls loom
as the night moves -
the soul stirs
I am draped in the unseen
a fine cloth upon my still awake skin
a fluorine heart
cradled in my palm
my desire released to the stars -
I have spoken
my eyes slip into dream
and a pathway gleams
through shadows woven
in the realm of my senses
I listen
and I obey , I must
to the music felt within my heart
a map , in ancient calligraphy
deft brushstrokes before my eyes
and there, hovering
the tarnished timepiece of fate
my solace
to my thirst
I raise my glass
wine upon my lips
poetry in my heart -
my destiny
her truth , eloquent
her touch , intent
her lips , evoke
this eternal night
burning in my soul
I am sacred
I am sin
I am love
