Charity Janisse

Meet me in early morning
When the sun glitters on the grass
Meet me in the evening when moonlight removes the mask
Meet me after midnight
When words flow easy and you ask
The questions
You’d not dare
In the bold light of noon.
Meet me in the hours before night gives way
To morn
Meet me in the spaces
Where your shadow
Is not worn
For in those moments you forget
What you thought you ought not say
And instead reveal the soul
With which I came here to play.
The hours in between
When the words in day we dare not speak
Ripple like water in moonlight
And wash like waves on sand
Meet me in the moments
When you forget all those demands
To hold back the most unusual, lovely and
Utterly fascinating sides to you
Because
Those times you do
Forget to be anything but you
That’s when I like you best
That’s when I like you
That’s when I do
That’s when I like you
Best.
