i stand alone inside my room
naked except for the fears that stop
my self from collapsing
i stand alone in the darkness
my eyes closed. my hands fisted
beside my body bereft of resistance
my breath escapes slow and steady
and with a purpose. i feel a breeze.
it seems to come from nowhere. i
sense that i am no longer alone.
i feel his heat and i hear
the breath in his lungs as he stands
in space with none between us. he
runs the back of his fingers down my arms
and i shiver in expectation. i want
to touch him but this is against the rules.
my turn will come.he takes my hand
and places it on his chest. 'can you
feel me?' he asks. i breathe out
an answer and am pleased.
he kneels before me and presses his
lips against my skin. his presence is
such a test of my will. and i will not falter.
he moves slowly but not with reserve. he
knows me. i trust him. he never abuses
this most difficult of things to give. he
stands and i open my eyes. as my sight
adjusts i can see his form in front of me.
in the darkness he is perfect. i am perfect.
in the darkness we are as one. and we are
perfect.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

    I dont know what it is or why but that resonated with me today. also, your signature is brilliant. my thoughts on art exactly.
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
