Lover Unseen

The day isn't complete without some good words of poetry. Here's one for you. Enjoy! *Come to me, loved one,* *In the decadent night, stripped of silence* *And holiness, let us abide* *In the imagined lists of our limbs,* *Let us reshape the bed to the shape of our sin,* *Let us leave shadows on the wall,* *To exorcise priests from their vestments,* *Let's shame the devil and raise all hell here in.* *Unbind me sweet lover unseen,* *Cleanse my sores with your tender fingers,* *Erase my hurts with liquid silence* *Let me bask in your heat before I flee.* *Come with me shadowed lover of my nights,* *Let us fall from this heights* *Into the madness of our wants,* *Let us become shapes in the stars,* *Blinking with our own code,* *Let God know us and call us by name.* *Unbind me and flee with me,* *Ebony white queen of my heart.* *I covet you like gold but I cannot spend you.* *I must hoard like a miser each token wink,* *Each smile, each pout of your sweet lips,* *A memory that I can't let slip.*
