Naeemah Petersen’s :YOU ALONE

11 years ago | Posted in: Breathing Words | 677 Views

 

You alone will climb the rocky planes of my darkest days

And bathe in the rays of my delighted nights

 

You alone will know the depths of my vast and twisting sea

And savour the scent of my slumber

 

You alone will walk the paths of my veins

And swim the channels of my bewildered mind

 

You alone will be beside me

And feel within your own bosom the beating of mine

 

And we will share the space and time between us,

As if it were bread and water

And we will fear separation

As if it were death
