Please don't go now

please don’t go now
there is a closeness bequeathed to summer
a shadow astride
your lips
and i have held ever since
a voice warriorstealth under a satin skin.
streets lifted untouched in a grip
a rage rampant in a chameleon prison
words
written on a papyrus wind
of a mouth
assaulted by untoward rapture
and secrets unbridled
galloping the dark.
please don’t go now
touch me again
a season deep in a sudden rain
tell me of goddesses that broke
their silence
fortresses untamed
against our love
cities resonant of a long drawn truce
and you and me
entangled
deep in a hushed echo as we have always known
ever since.
cling to me today
and I will show you houses
those have grown on mountains
forests that have burnt horizons
peacocks that over flew history
and on a stranger time
like this
far beyond
our breath still touches
the faint bell toll in the temple
by your palace home
your breasts hold
a hurt
eyes that ride
a tangled trail
and gurgling pigeons
in an afternoon of disarrayed
myths.
