the last sliver of sun
drops into the unknown,
the black has lengthened,
shadows have grown.
night holds me
in an opaque embrace
as my flighty feet
carry me to the meeting place
hearts beat
and blood flows,
of this love
only the night knows.
we are
lovers under the moon.
we hold onto this dark,
for the light will come too soon.
bodies create
a chaotic coven,
arms laced
and hearts are woven.
