Advancing moments steal hours
As memorable touch lingers in thought
A soft burn
That flickers
And flames
Darkness pervades
But light is caught
And kept
In the bend
Of his memory

Can I be truly repentant
As I atone for my transgressions
If I adored each step
Into darkness
And would again embrace
With delight
Would allow myself
To savor
Once more
The sin
That is you
…Ravenous for the sin
For the darkness
For you
My hunger outstrips any need
For penance
My only need
Confession
Under your hands
Under you
My body spilling its secrets
In every sigh, gasp and moan
Expiation of sin
Was never more
Delicious

The silence of the night
Blankets my thoughts
Allowing them to fade from the light
Pursuing the shadows
The nyctophile within
Celebrating the darkness
That sits not solely
With sky, moon, and stars
But which seeps from my soul
Out upon my paper
The ink drying
In vivid strokes
Identifying my words
As absolute
In their intent

Hope is a luminary
she sets alight
and frees into the night air
watching the light as it travels
following its path
believing in its brightness
finding the unexpected storm
that blows the flame out
in a single burst
casting her into darkness
leaving her to search
for that flicker
the hope that she had
a purity of faith
that would right her perspective
that would calm her soul
that would make her remember
and believe
that there is good that happens
after all

In my Book of Life
my inner story
was so hidden
that even I did not know the tale
until one fateful day
in the voice of a stranger
one simple word
unlocked the chest
where all of my secret truths
were kept.
Pages heretofore undiscovered and unread
were illuminated.
He held the key
was in possession of a plan
a detailed journey
to plumb my unknown depths
seeking the darkness
he knew
could be found below the surface.
Giving him my trust
my ultimate surrender
not only allowed him to map my body
but gave him a glimpse
of the longitude and latitude
of my unchartered heart.

Thoughts of him break each morning
with the inevitability of the dawn.
Morning tremble
as she opens her eyes
feeling his words
like fingertips
stroking her bare skin.
The purposeful caress.
The delicious intent.
Innocent desire
is inflamed to darkness.
A sensual
carnal rhythm
they ride
together.
