[Passionaria]

Standing
at the edge of myself
where lines blur,
and colors meld,
Reality shifts
knowing this path
will change me forever

In being
who you are
You, unlocked
secret desires
leaving me to stand
at the edge of myself
Craving
at your hand
the unlocking of
the night

Desires
hidden deep inside
emerge
taking form
in the warmth of you
in the safety of you
bringing me
to the edge of myself
and wanting
to play with the night
where darkness and light
a continuum of the whole
without judgment
free me from
fearing
the darkness inside myself
trusting the nature of life
trusting the nature of us

Sacred gifts
not given lightly
Craving
at your hand
the unlocking of
the night
