The Tempest

It's not easy to decipher a tempest
And you are hauntingly dark
Your thoughts darker
Your flesh darkest
You seize my very core
When I read your verses

I wish to know you
To glimpse into your escapades
And why have you constructed this space
Who are you
And why do you dare to charter the exotic

I wish to blend into your flesh
As I would like to touch your silence
I pause my breath
When I feel your flesh

Yet it is difficult to decipher
The tempest
As thee.
