Two Lovers
Two Lovers
There are two of them.
Sometimes they come,
alone or else together,
when you are not expecting.
One is made of words,
the other of feelings.
Neither can be seen.
Both are capable of ravishment,
each can capture the bride of your soul,
carry you to the hidden places,
places of consummation,
yearnings which then beget
more desire,
on into the dark night
where we meet
and (as someone said)
know who we are.
