Darkness

It is midnight.
I am surrounded by darkness,
and I can hear the silence of the night.

But in my soul
there shines a light so bright;

Defenses crumbled
when your fingers touched my lips.
My whole Being stripped naked.
An offering …
ripped open by your words
and yet still unexplored;

Yearning …
my mind, entrapped by thoughts of you,
tried to escape …
but was captured again by the images
of two astral bodies,
bonded by one soul,
touching fingers in mid air;
longing to embrace …
