The Deeping

I am the darkest
The night silence 
Sleeping on your lips

I am the shadow
Dreaming
The call in voiceless
Speaking

The brooding penumbra
Which cast upon your heart
The desire
Of the stars

I am the following footstep
Some ghost
On which your path
I tread

The burning night
Where your love
Laid out its sacrifice

I am the dark whisper
A black ink well
Into all your thoughts I collapse

Silent
A haunted space amongst your hearts
A tremor of who
You really are

I am the deep
Into you I fall
With ripples on a timeless pool
I hide in every corner
Of your soul

I am the darkest
Of the nascent light 
Kept in an ever flowing cup
The wine upon a parched kiss
Of love

And burned within the hunted flame
Every bead of sweat
Breathed within passions net
As I lift from such a quivering tongue
The evanescence

You have not known me
Save in the deepest realms 
Of unremembered
Dreams

Carolyn Devonshire February 5, 2011 at 12:10 PM The ghost, the whisper, that which hides in unremembered dreams still impacts our lives, Colin. It's wonderful to be able to read your work again. Hope you'll be posting more. I think you were the first member here that I added to my favorites list and this poem is very poignant, my friend. Love, Carolyn
