                Between the loving and the pain,
                between the lying and the truth,
                were precious hours we were one,
                short-lived in time, we knew.

                And there upon your skin of flame,
                were crests of dew that I would seek
                to stroke in ways that understand
                the wild desire and shame we'd reap.

                Yet to my heart throb of the time
                the winds of swaying love did cry
                and all my gaurded walls were stormed
                when I looked into your knowing eyes.

                And when my fortress lust did fall
                I felt the churning after rain
                that sanctioned my cold lonely world
                with tears of sorrow to remain.

                My nights seem void of feeling now
                the fire of jaded romance lost
                and were those swaying winds just wind
                or love that measures passion's cost?

                The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
                spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
                re-language historie
