Essence of Me
to you I surrendered
the essence of my being
from hidden depths
unearthed forsaken tokens
without guile
in artless exposure
offered secret parts of me
I gave no other
game to dance and ritual
made vulnerable
stirring dreams
in the dark of night
you come to visit
as lovers
inevitably do
free to roam
the distant realms
