“Even the Gloom”

Not long ago, it was

Winters time—some reason,

Our joy was so far removed—It shines

Summers time, now—I tremble,

Happily, being close to you—

In the warm rays of the sun—shining

A midst the dripping, god-ish, blue

When I feel lonely, I need to find you

I am not alone … with you

Your gleaming eyes, your lips full, and

Your skin silky smooth, against mine—

The heat rises, and it smothers the cool … I am

Dreaming, now, a dream, physically true

I have only to say, I love everything about you—

The sound, the thought, the feel, the happiness—even,

The gloom….
