To Quench You
I move slowly still closer
Melting in your attention to shock hopeful dawn
The shuddering clouds are smiling
Coaxing me to frenzy forward
The roots are growing on me, wrestling amongst each other
Clutching, wanting to become me
Calmly, knowingly...when seen, I hide
Revealing my weakness, my need to please
I am holding my own, guarded inside the nearest obscurity
I desire your dreams to tip me,
As I whir in your tempestuous dusk
Mirrors reflect monsters moving with intent
With appetites that no longer shame me
Facing you, full form
I am the longing phantom, flooding shadows,
Hiding my tears in my frustrations
I would release them if I knew for certain you would drink them
