HAZE


from the ABC set Gothic Poems

HAZE

I'm here alone to kiss his scorching lips.

I rend my clothes to form a tent, that our sins must veil.

My soul's black night surrenders to his sun eclipse,

And my groans and gasps play earthquake till I quail

At my own dark imagining. I turn my brow

To the North Wind. Its gusts, his arms' strong embrace.

A journey of loose despair; swift my feet must go,

Treading the sand, the barren desert of his body hazed

With heat. The passion like the sulphur, burns

Under deep hollows, cliffs, and boulders in my promised land;

Where sensual poisons ,haunting him in every turn;

While my desire streams, unleashed, from mouth and hands.

We're lost in a labyrinth of some lethargic dream.

Maze, where we wander, following the unknown.

Watching our own beauty in its depth; the stream

Of our desires, flooding our willful lawn.

We move and move...Never to see the sun.

Beneath the darkest night, stars that never end.

Entwined, entangled arms and limbs as one.

Pretending it's forever... Never ending to pretend.
