Kim V. Poetry

In love with the night,
Because it reminds me of you.

Reminds me that even
When gods fall,
My love for you,
Was made in the stars.

Where destiny is defined
Not by pretty words
On ancient pages.

But by the whispers you’ve left
Tattooed on my skin.

I wear them like a badge of honor.
Pride in my caged delight.

For the letters I trace
With my fingers,
Once tumbled from your lips.

My life without you
Is boring and treacherous.

Snakes lie behind every stone;
Impeding my way to happiness.

But, I continue my journey
Into the night, that I love so much.

To escape.

A sensual escape
From gated dreams.

An escape on a path
Lined with shredded silks
And blazing orchids.

A path that ends
With a new beginning.

One blanketed with fairy lights
And collapsing stars.

And by the light of the moon,
And the kiss of her shadow,
I’m almost there…
Back to you.
