I would like to meet the “me” you imagine

when we meet in the night.

Is it the same person

as when we conversed in daylight?

To read your thoughts

as you assess, my face,

my body. Have you sought

to understand he who takes my place?

I see how your body moves,

how you flick your hair;

for a brief moment

that fixed, piercing stare.

Those eyes are weapons,

they sear my soul;

deep like an ocean,

in which I drown.

Those eyes are like a lover’s,

they touch and caress;

like your breath on on my ear,

the graze of your breast on my elbow.

I would like to meet the “me” you imagine;

the “you” that entrances me is hypnotic,

exotic and intoxicating; sleep well

my dark goddess.
