her pain 2

let me eat her pain

my faith to hold her flame

mangled silhouette against the rain

love knows no fear

nor torment of disdain

let me eat her pain

violent flame

violet flame
embraced in fire
she strikes and devours
darkness and fear
undulating the horizon
drifting unknown seas

fear

scaling the edge

mountain of fear

never looking down

in the lunchroom

i saw you
in the distance,
years ago,
you were dark,
seemingly –
colour and poise,
and i was afraid
in my youth
maybe it was me
that was dark –
clumsy awkward fear…
maybe it was just
the wavering fluorescent force field
between us –
and you
standing upon the moon
so alone
so far from everything known,
unapproachable,
yet close
in darkness
and essence
