Illuminated, Illuminated


darkness seeps, without a sound,
into the very fabric of my skin.
merely a drop at first glance,
but it slowly invades and pillages
every nearby cell until i know
nothing but night.
the glide of a fingertip,
the brush of a lip,
and the darkness retreats,
unable to survive in battle against
this unnamed and unsung savior.
suddenly, i breathe.
suddenly, i heal.

i no longer know of fear,
and i no longer know of pain,
for i catch sight of your eyes
and know,
truly, i know,
what is love.
