Let There Be Nothing Done In Darkness

Let there be nothing done in darkness that’s

   Not done for love, but let us be entwined

Around each other like two sleepy cats—

   Purr harmonized with purr, mind matched to mind.

And when we hold our breath to reach the peak

   Of Love’s Mount Everest, let the kiss we share

Be strong enough to make our terror weak

   And soft enough to land us safely where

We can begin the climb again, and dive

   Into each other till we’re out of breath,

And feed on all our dreams to stay alive

   While all the nightmares in us die the death—

      Then drink so deeply of each other’s heart

      That we’ll be one even when we’re apart.
