i
the light this evening
is much too bold
it keeps hinting
at things as yet untold
but i ignore the shadows
it is throwing at the ceiling
contemplating the colors of tomorrow
it is reluctantly revealing
ii
spent all day
trying to coax
the night out of hiding
and now it comes
when we merge
it will remember nothing
of its birth
at all
it eagerly feeds
on us
astonished by
its insatiable hunger
and scars our mouths
with its bright teeth
iii
tell me what
can be turned away
that seeks you
even hesitation
resists the temptation
to tell you to wait
my heart wants only
to be your instrument
if you will play me
because
without you
i make no sound
