Eros

Come to me Beloved
If you will come
Find me in the holy darkness
Of the palace
You have built for us

Come to me
From the unseen
Touch me
With unlit hands
And kiss me
Our mouths coated
In darkness
And Mystery.

I am willing
To be unknowing
To relinquish control
To let you be
A secret
Touching me
In silence
Without a herald
Or a history

I am willing to receive you
by night
The lamp oil
Will remain
Cool Oil
I shall not
Fire it to light

I will know you
By touch
By smell
By taste

May the gods
Keep the sight
Of you
In their day lit heights

I will take the weight
Of your dark-clothed
Body
Lying next to mine.
