there is warmth only in shadow
for there alone
do I find you
the glare of sunlight
pushes against us
and we are forced
to part
in the brightness of day
as the world luxuriates
drawing close to the radiance
being brought to life
I am stung by winter’s breath
shivering in the brilliance
of a summer afternoon
only in the darkness
is there life for me
only where the stars do not see
am I completed
only there
do we exist as one
hidden
from all the world
we shun the day
and embrace
mantled
in the welcoming
shroud of night
