I gaze upon her shining eyes
And feel the weight of long black nights
Dissolve
She fills me
Gently
Wills me
So gently
Her touch
Conquers me
Lets me in
Secret skin
Shows me
Overwhelming
New endings
Evolving edges
Awakens me
From slumber
Silence
Darkness
Blindness
She helps me speak my mind
And find the lines
I cross
She loves me
My little flower
Blooms inside my heart
Growing in the darkest parts
Filling me with little lights
With blood and love
And care and kindness
When darkness seduces my mind
When I fall inside
And hide alive and wide eyed
My heart aches to find this
To find her before me
Beside me
She finds me
And breaks through the lonely
Prison that holds me
My silver haired kitten
Sitting sweetly in my lap
Licking and tickling
And healing my fat
Fuck ups
So willing
To warm me
To love me
Adore me
And trust me
Each morning
The glory
Of her love before me
My sweet little kitten
I swim in her eyes
And I’m swelling
I’m smitten
My silver haired kitten
I’m singing
From kisses
And whispers of Christmas
The future that this is
Excited to wake up each day
I will witness
Her eyes gazing on me with love
And forgiveness
