Satan Dec 2010
I am waiting in my room.
In the dark.
Sitting so patienly on my bed.
With vague shadows moving around me.
With the cold air torturing my skin.
I can feel my heart beat  fast.

Then i hear your voice.
Calling out to me.
But i can not see you.
Too dark...
Too cold...

I reach out vaguely into the dark.
And there you are.
Standing right before me.
Cold as frozen morning dew.
Dark as night sky without stars.
Hollow as a disembodied sounds of death.

With outstretched arms i let you in.
You come closer to me slowly without a sound.
And i hold you tight.
So tight.
To never let go.

I can feel your hands dancing on my skin.
I can feel your lips soothing my *******.

And then you vanish.
Just like you did before.
Leaving me in the dark alone.

My lovely shadow lover...
Fred McCarthy Dec 2010
There by your river i waited so patienly.
When the world was gilded with purple red light of the rising sun.
The trees covered me so perfectly.
There in my dwelling place i stood to run...

Away from the water...
That reflected your face each time i looked into it.
Away from the wind...
That whispered your name each time i sang.

On your shore i stood by the ocean.
Calling your name with passion.
Soft was the sky, gilding my soul with blue.
As i pledged you my prayers so true.
encroached upon
throughout the centuries
by human fear seeking
protection near some venerable shape
you stand
aloof
   silently balancing
   symmetrical circles
   of roots and crown

patienly oblivious of parks
and buildings made by those
who vainly walk in awe
to grasp the mystery
   in touch, in picture, meditation
of otherness unmoved

plantlife millenial
