Yearn At Midnight

 
I feel you tender soul  
vulnerable in your darkness  
you wear it like midnight  
 
to keep out the sideshow leers  
you're not for their consumption  
 
though I know they pick at you  
like carrion do a fresh carcass  
 
I weep in the cold steel rain  
cross deserts to reach you  
 
I've cast my lot  
I will walk this journey along side you  
quietly so as not to disturb the restless spirits  
the ones that rattle your bones  
when the bottle is empty  
the silent time when ghosts scream in whispers  
 
my magic is pure  
it will lighten the burden  
of a skin that yearns  
 
I'm like a mellow whiskey  
I'll take off the edge  
relieve your ache  
 
wrap my poetic legs round you  
spill your ink deep inside me  
let's fuck the demons dead  
 
 
 
*Read by the very lovely and talented Magdalena*
