spirit

 
I reach for you in your darkness
I surrender all my preconceived notions
touching you where you are
in the still ache

I understand your pain even in my infancy
a soul evolving
sometimes devolving
always in flux

you bring me to my knees
with tender refrains
I meet you in the midnight of my soul
gentle truths sometimes harsh with their delivery,
awaken me to you

I want to be desired as I am
we clash at times
love and hate so powerful
I am and I am nobody

I seek you in my honesty
you don't have to be gentle
but I hope for your kindness
