In the dim light (2014)

 

 In my mind,

I dim the light

Let you glow

In the flicking

Of candles,

The shine

In your eyes

Or on your lips

Like wild fire.

I am the forest

Through which

Your flames rip

In the dim light,

I touch your bare

Shoulder with

My finger tips,

My callouses against

A surface so smooth

I ach from contact,

Feeling sparks rise.

In the dim light,

I bend close

And touch your lips

With mine,

Measuringthem

The way a tailor

Might to see

How well they fit,

How good you taste,

How potent being

Near you is.

In the dim light,

I lay you down,

My hands on

Each shoulder,

My chest against yours,

Feeling the earth

Tremble as

We come

Together
