Ténèbres

no soft epiphany delivers and
enlightens,
so i grapple with the unknown that
frightens.
why haven't you written?

we do talk, but we
don't,
At least of consequence we
won't.
why are we so afraid?

i feel and know the nagging doubt and
pain,
it struggles in my heart as well in
vain.
why can't i hold you?

you stalk freshly in my delicious
mind,
wreaking lust and shivers ever
kind.
why did i say no?
