Like a moth to flame
I crave it.
Safe in the cocoon of my mind
I drift...
Pulling the blanket over my head.
I sigh,
Breathing.
My breath in and out,
Following the rhythm of my pulse.
Peaceful, beautiful silence.
Silence,
So bold and black.
Bottomless, ever breathing.
Surrounding me.
Comforting me.
Stroking me.
Playing over my body like fingers of my lover.
Silence, my lover.
Always there in the recesses of my mind,
In the space surrounding me,
Ever breathing.
Silence, my lover.
Neither cold nor cruel,
Safe or warm,
Lover mine, silence.
