Follow me, to the edge of night,
beyond the day, to grey twilight.
Beyond the rules of right and wrong.
You came with me. We walked along
a wind-blown path to a hidden cave.
It was reckless, but not brave.
Deep we went into the dusk
where we obeyed the law of lust.
But when we’d gone a bit too far,
the way back was dim; had I crossed the bar?
The familiar became rearranged
in our walled-off space. You were strange.
Perspective changed in these dim rooms
(where even now your shadow looms).
I could come and go, but never leave.
In ******* I saw no reprieve
Years have passed since I saw you last.
Your memory is fading fast.
But lessons linger from a lust
that nearly turned my life to dust.
