lingerer

 
you linger in my thoughts
a guilty wanderer through the corridors of the mind
 
copper emotions dance in the sunlight
while you remain in the shadows
breathe eternities into our love... please stay awhile
 
I invite my feelings to dine on my heart
little children, I've birthed from a womb of need
come suckle at my breast
 
vampires of the soul are restless within me
through the portals of the ego, they watch hungrily  
innocence is what they crave
the snow is bloodied as another feeling falls prey
 
bind the evolving pain with amber
I seek the light of you
in my silent time, you come for me
when insidious breeds contempt
you soothe  
 
my desire
your intellect caressing my truth
you inside me slaying my demons
 
in darkness, greed come to me
through passion's fall
 
succumb
