Branded

you be gone
   long   gone
   long ago, yet 
in that dark
   space of night
that knows no eyes
   but mine
‘tis there   in dreams
   my love   flows
   into scarlet streaks
running down
   the ridges
   of your back
the red   melting 
   from my painted nails
as I   brand you
   mine 
   forever.
