I have lain with you
Underneath a ravishing vault
Nights choked with satin
Hands thirsting the salt
Of a spontaneous intimacy
*
Your whispered words
Always knew precisely
How to disperse infirmity
I could never deny you
No matter how savage
The request
*
Your love unfastened my heart
As if it were only the accoutrement
Of a more profound mystic
I will not find within another
A comparable sentiment
There is you and with you
All else remains
*
Dreams leave me restless
In ingratiating recall
Warmed but trembling
What death has stolen
Can neither be
Remodeled nor reclaimed
*
There’s no recovering
From the imposition of grief
There is only movement
Which comes now by degrees
Imperceptible sans enhancement
The night will not pass with the sun
For my eyes accede only shade
