To Quench You

I move slowly still closer Melting in your attention to shock hopeful dawn The shuddering clouds are smiling Coaxing me to frenzy forward The roots are growing on me, wrestling amongst each other Clutching, wanting to become me Calmly, knowingly...when seen, I hide Revealing my weakness, my need to please I am holding my own, guarded inside the nearest obscurity I desire your dreams to tip me, As I whir in your tempestuous dusk Mirrors reflect monsters moving with intent With appetites that no longer shame me Facing you, full form I am the longing phantom, flooding shadows, Hiding my tears in my frustrations I would release them if I knew for certain you would drink them
