darkened temptation

i feel you in white noise
echoes of hallways
pictures atop doorways
to feel you in essence
moonlight and fine lines
i rip for your tide
lips against mine

we etch in sands
i feel beauty in this
to find truth in hurting
we find darkness in time
paths in hallways
shadows between lurking
details and mentions
words and conversations
i converse in question

to feel you sideways
arms to curl
notes in noise
chaos in rhyme
i feel you in this
to feel each other in bliss
swift touch
a gaze upon your eyes
pink moonlight

i’ve died a thousand times
to cry the deepest in night
to love in the midst of
danger in memory
hurt and longing
touch in toxicity
ten strikes of lightning

i found words in this
broken questions
long conversations
a twirled backpack

the strings become
i dare you to hold
my thoughts in your arms
between streets of hills
two worlds collide
twelve years
a twisted conversation

have you always had
this darkened temptation?
