Take Me Under

[Dark Muse]

Take Me Under

Let us slide
beneath the sheets
and leave behind
all worldly concerns
under the draping white
where we may conceal
ourselves.

And let me
lie below your body
to bury myself away
entombed within your
all encompassing embrace
lost among your tones
and scents.

We will tumble
underneath waves
of hair and limbs
stolen of words
robbed of thought.

Only touch
and bodies
burrowed inside
wanting need
teetering on the brink
of consciousness

Living in a wake
of forgetfulness
while each memory
of you is revived.

I like the line "lost among your tones."

ah yes sweet, sweet love, even when it has deserted one, is still a warming thought...very nicely written Muse.

"Only touch/and bodies/burrowed inside/wanting need/teetering on the brink/of consciousness"

I loved this poem. It flowed exceptionally well and I loved the feelings/vision it conjoured up. Bravo! This last stanza took my concentration and kept it. It gave the poem so much more depth and meaning and I have yet to pin a meaning upon it. Also, the poem hit close to home. Thank you.
