Carry Me

Carry me into the soft light of evening, let it fall on me

And make my eyes shine, and look on you, as those whose thoughts

Have meant so much to both of us, and the gaze seeing you,

As you smile your quick smile, and make your face, reflect the field

On which I, have been the one who wins, the one

Who almost loses; until I see your eyes, and the permutation that is you.

 

Carry me close to almost darkness, as the feeling of you takes hold, and

Sings its quiet song of romance, and feeling for myself, of everything

In me, that belongs to you, which in itself is everything that I am made of,

For you, the ceaseless-being who’s catching smile and feeling touch,

Pull us together; seeming to find the line of communication without speaking,

The pull of music played without sound, the completeness, of holding one forever.

 

Carry me into the black, the color that expels all color, by making it fade away.

Take me into your totality, to the expansive room where wind and air, and thoughts

And dreams, all come together, like cymbals crashing in silence, like warmth

Falling into coolness and the destiny finds itself as much a part of the beginning

As it finds itself in the peak of being one together, and finding the world a vapor around

That feeling, of being the one carried, softly by you, into the night.
