Taste the darkness on your lips
Study me with your fingertips
Let’s become the midnight hour
Tangled up with one another.
Give me back your beautiful mind
Let our thoughts
And bodies entwine
As one
Again.
As we were at the beginning
And will be at the edge of eternity
In the place
That some may call
The end.
Take me in
Again
With you.
The darkness understands us
So much better than the day
And when we are together
All our words unspoken
Will not be painful silence
But instinct and body heat
Filling the spaces left
By words unsaid.
Everything will be clear
When we are near
To one another
So close that we become each other.
For together
We are darkness
We are night
We are formless
And entwined.
We are more than any one mind
Could possibly imagine
A cosmic distraction
When we touch.
And I do not claim to know much of us
But I know this
Our one night together would be
The one night we would remember
(Or regret missing)
For the rest of our lives.
So bring me into the night
With you.
