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

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
