Every Evening

as light begins to fade
every evening
i lie down on the couch
darkness wrapping me in

i shut my eyes
to light up 'my' dark chambers
and to swim in
the cascading light

my lips curve with the
distinct repetition of your name
distant sounds pour
faintly into my ears

in the darkness
and within my brightness
i connect my self to you
every evening as light fades...
