Ruin Come to me as the night comes to the desert, slowly, with a thousand secrets beneath her veil. Let the moon bear witness to our undoing, while the world sleeps, oblivious to the fire that turns two lonely souls into one flame. There is a wilderness beneath your skin that no map, no prayer, could ever lead me through. Yet I would wander there until the stars grew weary, my mouth learning the language of your silence, my hands discovering what words never knew. You are the wine I should not drink, the forbidden verse upon my tongue, the want that makes a poet of my darkness, the sweetest madness I have ever known. And God, how I hunger for you… not merely for the softness of your body, but for the surrender hidden in your eyes, for the moment your guarded heart falls open and every careful wall between us dies. Let me love you as the devotee loves the infinite devine.. until there is no difference between the seeker and the flame, until your breath becomes the prayer I breathe, and I forget the very shape of my own name. For I have known the loneliness of a thousand nights, but never a darkness quite like this.. the exquisite torment of lying beside you, feeling the universe narrow to the space between your lips and my almost kiss. So come, my beloved, let the night take everything but our tenderness. Let our bodies speak what our souls have feared, until dawn finds us tangled in the silence, and even the sun turns away, ashamed of how little it knows of burning. For if loving you is my undoing, then let me fall without a name.. for I would rather be ruined by your love than live untouched by its flame……..
