everyday eclipse

by Indigo Tempesta

it is darktime
when the light is leaving
across the paths we cross
our stars which shine
and shape us into
dreams.

tonight is full
with scents of dandelion and frost to inhale
my mind is on you
but i am far from home.

while the wind is inviting
i build a house in your imagination
at your front door
and you come in to
whisper me down. to hold
me is a burning forest and a mossy well
you do it well and with kindness.

your branch brittle
dries in my dream
splintered through, falling down
i wither i go into the unknown
i emerge i am clean
i am wisdom i am the penumbral shadow
on the moon.

this is very lovely. i especially enjoy your line "to hold me is a burning forest and a mossy well" -it's a great analogy to that feeling of delicious sexiness.
