Darling Poem by Maria Mitea

i'm tied to you like to a pyre of wood,
another time
all i wanted from you was to be courted,
begged,
but there's no time, darling
there is no time,
i need you in the kingdom of the night with all your weapons,
i will make you a king over the waters of the desert,
only those who haven't died of thirst don't know what water is,
to feel your boldness
blaze
look how i tremble, lost leaf in the wind,
gather me in your branches like the flowers of spring,
slip your soft hands under the nightgown,
touch my ear with your whisper
let the lost kiss revive ones again, unhide the eye of the sea,
with your warm lips spread the butterfly's wings,
do remember me forever, quench your thirst between white hips,
go deep like a sword,
let the whole earth moan with us on the lips of a man,
of a woman
as serpents let us burn, and the whole earth moan with us,
go deep, darling,
and smooth
like
a sword
