You shared twilight

and sunlight with me

tied me down with knowledgeable conversations

as the sun peaked into noon

filled up my tummy

as we nibbled on how to face the world

you and I against the world

as we battled over the truth of our reality

hand in hand we strolled down the park of memories

shedding a tear or two as we spoke of tales that almost ended us

and then bursting into laughter like maniacs

coming to terms with what was

feasting on the delights of what now is

you naughty child

had me speaking in tongues

as you preached the word through sensual connections

had me pulling your hair

calling Abba father

as if you were my saviour

had me mumbling

words nonsensical

without meaning

as if I was possessed

you were the demon in me

no exorcist needed to heal me

you lioness

whispered careless nothings into my ears

had my toes curl up into my feet

unable to defy pleasure

my hands grabbing your flesh

head sunk into the ocean of your bosom

as we floated to a space that kept only you and I

when you sang poetry on every limb of my soul
