Every moment
a beat closer
Closer to falling
The edge is near
I feel it
Light then dark
Dark then light
A shadowy tunnel
Beckoning me down
Or maybe up
A funnel, twisting light
Light is dark
Dark is light
Love in the dark
Enlightened with love
All that is known
Must go tumbling
Go to him, hold him
Feel for a moment
The embrace, staccato heartbeats
Shall he be mine
Shall I be his?
Shall I walk away
Stronger, but lonely
Or stay,
Dependent yet twined?
Where do I lead
Where shall I follow
Rambled directions from my heart
Tumbling onward to a home
Elation cascades into my heart
A voice tickling my ear
Filled with unspoken delights
Rapture envelopes me
Strong arms grasping tight
Deep into sleep protected
Sleep, it is safe
No more questions abound
Silence, just the sensations
Until awakened with a touch
Will it be my own or...
for now just sleep
