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
