Kisses in the Dark

In darkness deep my lover hides his face

While offering, inviting to embrace

Within the quiet night, and love unseen

Bears secrecy like barriers in between.

Yet unmistaken thrills the gentle spark

Of hiding love to kiss me in the dark.

Mid rumors of a beauty past desire,

I beg to rise and die within the fire,

A glory more than ample ‘gainst the night

That substanceless though somehow hides his light.

And so I weep to glimpse the faintest mark,

And thank my love for kisses in the dark.
