Sacred Darkness

 

I never knew how rich
the blackness was

until it burst into flame

with your Presence.

My bruise became your jar of wine.
Am I a crystal of snow

in the palm of your hand?
Let me melt away.

Am I wings in a cocoon?

Let me fly through the nectar

of your silence.
My shadow is fire.
What burned me away completely,
I became.

A stillborn tear

held in half-closed eyelids

between Winter and Spring,

I am the trembling seed

of Imbolc.

I have touched the bright

erotic darkness of your soul.
