come gentle darkness and taketh mine heart into thine shield me from the shine and polish of hearts too bright hearts that I would have desired to know at one time take me into thine arms and protect me from their light come gentle darkness and taketh mine hand into yours hold it close, yea, closer still to thy breast let the beating of thine heart fill mine own so poor and may I by thy shadowy knowledge be possessed come gentle darkness and giveth me thy black lips let me feel the cold touch of them upon my cheek and I, drunk of thee, will always want another sip kiss me again, and let me hear thy sweet voice speak come gentle darkness and whisper soft in mine ear whisper of the nights that thou hast sought mine heart and from thy dark eye, I will wipe that first tear and swear to thee my love, that we will ne'er part -------------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person.

Beautiful! I for one think you speak of the darkness contained in the majestic night, and NOT the darkness that sometimes resides in our hearts or souls. Can I be your willful breeze, Come to touch, Your heart to ease? |
