There is not much light here
but enough.
I do not appear well
in full search of sun

You may see
a part of the image shown
but detail
is best left hidden.

Like the limbs of trees
on dark nights
shapes seen make imagination
materialize what we think
not what is...

I might touch
and feel the touch
of hand on chest,
in absent way
when one is in midst
of heated longing

But I cannot touch
the heart  of you...
for there
though guarded well
you would feel a fool

not now

but later when you
had warmed yourself on me
and tasted again the things
you so desire

I would be reviled

Trickster with no depth
no want to be less or more
than the scars I am

It is not light here
but light enough to see
the lines drawn
the reflections shown
from flickering flames

In all I see
In all I desire

I would destroy

Your character sounds fierce...

which portends an excellence in writing...

well done, Sir...

I enjoyed it very much, please keep writing. The especially enjoyed the dark aspect, and I cant think of the correct word, but the sort of formal way of speaking? i dont know, im not good with words.

Sort of like a Rorschach Test? And although you may think somethings better left to the imagination? Well, let's just say I flunked the Roschach test...

I could have cut and pasted this whole poem.  Damn, you're good.

in absent way

But I cannot touch

truly amazing...every line.

May your dreams always dance to the rhythm of a lover's heartbeat...
