My Evening Shelter

   
heavy    
     
      
lies the head that bears this crown    
as it slowly descends    
the sleek and narrow stairway    
Into your heaven   
      
serenade my passage,love    
with a reassuring hymn    
let your harmonious pulsing massage    
this drawn out symbol of angst    
      
seething with intensity    
yearning to lessen the density    
of this burden I carry  
      
I know  
      
that within the hall of your cathedral    
I shall find my solace    
my refuge from THAT which goes bump    
inside the asylum that is my mind    
      
for your most basic nature    
is to nurture    
      
and as my torment is self evident    
allow this sojourning soul    
to share the warmth of your residence    
if only for the moon's passing  
      
render unto me the healing powers    
of your feminine compassion    
acquitting me of this nocturnal disquiet    
as my midnight companion    
      
hold firm sweetness   
it is a turbulent thing I have for you     
      
with each urgent thrust    
I trust only in you to hold dear    
and cradle the particles of    
my fleeting essence    
      
this outpouring of my being    
      
continuous    
      
~~~~~streaming~~~~~    
      
until superimposed
      
at ease at last    
     
within you
      
my evening shelter
