afraid of...

down across the moonless moors
sat a man in sunless shade
too alone for shadows
gray its moss this hole he knows
without the color of light
to make things grow
she sat in shadows
on the sunlit side
afraid of all the green he decried
honey the colors of sunlit hair
the sky of her eye's
hold him still
in moments of quiet longing
for her his memory of darkness
brutal lips, chisledness
so brooding of manner
in his way of not meeting her eyes
except for the once
when she truly saw his terror
she so afraid of many things
he so afraid of her
sat a man in sunless shade
with thoughts of worship
sat a maid in sunlit shadows
thinking of one she made afraid
