You always come at night

like the rain like the moon

bring flowers & candlelight

light my spirit light my room

 

Your kisses taste of spring

another land I  used to own

your body’s soft and warm

takes me in strokes my soul

 

You found me in a storm

windblown tidal on the beach

collecting sea shells of the past

turned to amber turned to glass

 

You say that we were meant

to banish darkness open eyed

you always come at night

& I’m grateful for the time

 

it takes .
