TEMPLE

nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

I sought you
In the temple
A lone lamp
Shining bright
Barefoot
Gliding softly
In your essence
Of the night.

In corridors
Of secrets kept
Observing moonlight
Trickling through
The glassless windows
Baked clay walls
This Summer night
I seek of you.

Lift your veil
Your eyes to dwell
Upon this fool
Of love
Whisper to me
Sweetly
You angel
From above.
