At The Edge Of Day

You climb to my
herb scented cave --
you come with your
cat eyes, curling
mouth, and unnatural
wisdom. You speak in
shades, your voice
an invisible touch.


I bind your
dark hair in light.
Our mahogany hearts
shed the weight
of old tears
and silent sighs.
We eat dried fruit
watch sleeping doves,
their breasts
blooms,
creamy white.
