dark
not entirely obsidian behind your eyes,
splendid sweat
drenched in moonlight and stars,
mellifluous chirping of crickets,
forty-five degrees
they position their wings,
the vibration reaches your ears
interwoven with the resonance of drums,
a divine lullaby
which pounds on your mystic heart,
aching for His forgiveness
sapphire clouds, aerial as you
in a cocoon of flowing cloth,
you turn and turn, one with all of creation
hypnotizing, you captivate me.
His love is all-consuming and
heat reaches past the chilled twilight
as your soul ululates in desperation,
you dream without the comfort of sleep
and awaken to the consequences of your intoxication,
but you spin all the way to heaven
in an ephemeral kaleidoscope of euphoria
light
