Untitled Poem of Love and Longing (1)

There's peace in this moment
As I stare at my neighbour's house
The rain has washed away the tension
And taste of grief from my mouth
The mood draws me near to you
The memories are dancing in my room
The days are crawling up my back

I'll close my eyes to see you
To dream of you a thousand times
You in your censored gloom, you in your dinner dress
You the night you loved me, You the night you confessed

I'll close my eyes to see you
To hold you where Christ's blood stains the purists
To hold you in the gourd as desire pours over Jerusalem
To hold you in the consequence of crazy love
And hysteria that heaven's anointing sends
