Stars Around Her

i saw the darkness coming down,

it posed no threat to me

i let the dakrness ease its way around

it was every good thing

i'd expected it would be

i saw you coming,

through the twisting vines outside

i saw the new moon collide

with the stars

clustered around her.

i saw the young fruit, on the new lime

i felt your breath catch it's rhythm.

i heard your legs push away the tall dry brush

i saw the moon and the stars

and knew the secrets within them.

i heard you saying

my name into my ear

no one has to tell me

why you've come here,

'cause i know.

i know.

i know.
