Stefan nnn - A Prayer on Parting

Come gently to me at the day's end,
Whisper sweet nothings to me.
Take me and break me and make me.
A woman again.

Show me your intimate knowledge,
Of everything last thing that I am.
Touch me and taste me and tease me,
In every sweet place that you can.

Hold me, softly and weeping,
Tears of both sorrow and lust.
This night is ours for the keeping,
But the sea will soon tear us apart.

For tonight, let me be your temple
And a holy communion held.
I'll watch as you take blessed sacrament,
Beneath my shuddering veils.

Then, with the mysteries over,
When we are ascended to grace.
Rest yourself closely beside me,
Let your breasts, wetly pillow my face.

Remember me...
Like this,
And return.

Come gently to me at this day's end,
Whisper only; your sweet love to me.
Take me, and break me, and make me.
A woman, become woman, again.

Stefan nnn
