Poem
Come Out With Me Come out with me in the shadowtime, Where we'll dance together in rhythms slow, Sensuality crawling slow, delightful across our flesh Feeding on one another On the rich fare of warm dreams Dredged up from the dark Consuming ourselves in strong caresses Touches afire with tenderness. Make love with me While the splintered light of the stars Drifts down to Earth untroubled By its crossing of the infinite black void Make love with me While the bright cold light Falling off the ragged face of the moon Illumines our side of the world, Calling forth the beings of the night To attend to their silent affairs. Not without some shade of former glory Fell the angels who stood with Lucifer, As the brightest stars, giving up their existences In flaming cataclysms, vast and soundless, So did they pass Below, From Light Eternal to Darkness Supreme. Even so it stands with mortal men, Creatures at once Divine and Diabolic Strange accidents of Fate, Beauteous monstrosities, Mysteries to ourselves. Glories ring even in the midst of our disgraces, Dishonors too, within our victories. We are the terror of Creation, We save or destroy With power undirected Minds undisciplined. So come out into the shadowtime with me, To mingle formless passions Filling in the hungry spaces in our hearts; Reveling in our young humanity Devouring our desires, mating Bodies and minds Sewing together the shuddering fabric of dreams, That fragile, tenuous light crawling close, So close to ground at the burning edge of the day.
