Darker My Love

Darker, my love

She said.
It's still so light.
Let us wait.

The sunset will come,
soon with feverish tones
of wildflowers and plasma.

Yes, we shall wait.
and hum the tune of a song once
revered by those that cared.

A tune like Atlantis.
The sound will resonate
deep in the depths of the mind.
Soon you'll feel the sound has seeped
too far.

And though try you may,
it will never leave.
It remains like the strum of the bass string
remains steady under the limitless flourish
of vocal chords.

It remains there in the
center of being
like what some may call
soul.
