"Darkness And Light"

One of the many poems I've written ((and this is copyrighted so contact me if you want to use it))

Through the filmy haze of a weekend afternoon
Amidst the sharp braying sounds of the city
I watch him loping towards me.
I have to catch my breath in the crispy air.
Something quietly sleeping suddenly stirs behind my eyes.
I feel it stretch behind its cage, cording through me, touching off sparks.
I wait, caught between darkness and light.

Threading through the dimness of the restaurant
And back out in the bleary blinking street
The scudding clouds surround us as his hand encloses mine.
His long fingers a siren’s promise as the corner turns and tilts.
Warm, I sway against him like a lifeline, dizzy.
Another movement from it deep within, another spark, a fluid rush.
I freeze, caught between darkness and light.

In the veiled silent shadows of a chilly room
Amongst the softest mellow click of a turning lock
He blurs away in swirls of cloth and ragged breaths.
For hours we weave a duet of desire, a wave cresting and washing back to sea.
I drown in the lushly ardent pools of grey-blue in his eyes.
Awakened now, it rises to its feet and turns small circles, growling in hunger.
I gasp, slipping between darkness and light.

The staves of slanting sunlight pour across his brow
Obscuring his face above mine in the tango we compose
We surge together as his kisses sluice into my parched soul.
I struggle in the undertow, clinging for dear life to the rocks of his shoulders.
In this desert of madness we are each other’s oasis.
Ravenous, I feel its claws raking at the doors of its pen, roaring for freedom.
I moan, veering between darkness and light.

As the light through the trees dapples the windshield
And the road rushing below pulls him ever closer to home
He is a nearby shadow singing in my blood with fingers entwined.
I shiver in his shade, this live thing crawling along the surface of my skin.
He fades, not looking back, through the doorway of his house.
Vehemently it razes its walls and stirs up the dirt, kicking at the shattered bars.
I acquiesce, floating in darkness and light.
