Graveyard Coffeehouse

Searching For Love In The Black

---

How many times
Have you died
Living
This
Mundane
Life
Devoid
Of
Passion
Sensuality
Ecstasy?
How many times
Have you
Risen again
Opening
Your
Eyes
To
Mediocrity
Boredom
Routine
Waking in horror
Wanting
To
Scream
Seething
Hungering
For
Pleasure
Eroticism
To fill
The spiritual void
That aches
Wanting
Desperately
To walk
The dark forest
That is
Your Love
Without trepidation
Confidently
Seeking
What you already
Know exists
Within the Darkness
For she has called
Your name
All your lives
As she does now
She cries
Come to me
Eternal lover
Love me
Flesh upon flesh
Heart to heart
Let our lips
Touch
Our tongues
Flicker serpentine
Let us become
A beast
With two backs
One soul
Realize the monster
Caged within
If this be
Sin
Then we have grasped
A little piece
Of Heaven
Right now
Postponed
A life
Of Hell
I remember
How we danced
Making love
Within the trees
Our moans
An orgasmic
Symphony
That rose
Fell
Ended
With a flourish
We dressed
Sighed
Then left
Hand in hand
Walking
Within the forest
Towards the light
I looked
Into her eyes
Said goodnight
As if
In a dream
Or a nightmare
About to begin
And
I awoke
The following
Morning
Naked and alone
Realizing
This was just
The
Beginning
Not the end
Of my journey
And
I was far
From home
Destitute
In despair
Hungry
Tasting
A memory
Long gone
From my arms
Seeking
A phantom
Of love
In the black
No longer
There.
