#tenebrous
Lines that stretch the lines struggling to survive Tenebrous in tenebrae dark shadows thick alive In the dark lies obscure words slip off us to bare A meaning lingers a depth withheld a light care Give yourself to me in a rhythm a little at a time What you don't say, your body speaks in rhyme I feel your shade upon me, black slow unknown In waters of us deep-you are a with me-all alone Conceal yourself upon me-quiet rich-hold a root In the inner chambers thoughts on mine unmoot As if the dark upon me--I see your black reshape No light cracks our dawn, the dark kisses a nape Dispelling in the soft-in the dark of you I can see O clear dark shadow slowly show yourself to me Some things bloom better, in a dark shade visible Ah the dimness in us reaching yearning in a pull.

Tenebrous in Tenebrae
If the sun has purpose If the clouds have purpose If the light has purpose Where do you fit in? If the moon has purpose If the stars have purpose If the darkness has purpose If even the most potent tenebrosity has purpose, why don't you?
