Necessity. {Pleiades}

by ghosts in bloom   Nov 7, 2008


Night swallows me whole, down its long, sequined throat,
Nearly extinguishing all other light but that which belongs to him.
Now lying in twinkling stomach, I'm reminded of your crepuscular charms.
Never thought I'd crave your presence so much as I do right now.
Needing your brawny arms and velvet voice to rescue me, before this
Nihilistic valley of still time digests the rest of my heart.
Next to vertebrae and oxygen, you alone are my necessity, my love.
