In Contrast To The Darkness Poem by Mark Heathcote

In contrast to the darkness, I, see the moon
Iridescent against the backdrop night
It's a pearl forever locked clasped entomb,
I see stars dazzlingly meteorite.

The world like a cello breathes through my heart.
You are the only ground I walk upon,
And whether its substance is light or dark
(Secure) —you're my temple, my Pantheon.

Our loves overture, written by the gods
So cast me into the waves I'm drowning
Deeper-in-love, whatever the facades
I'll swim because-darling I'm not dreaming.

I'm just, locked beneath these ebony-waves
I'm waiting for you to shut down the sun
Oh, starlight ever-so-bright let me brave
Until, all this-loving, living-is done.
