Angel Of Your Night

You are searching for one
who is perfect,
to read your soul
with simple ease,
and touch you with the knowing
of a fallen angel
somehow still chaste.
And your mouth on mine
is crazy with hunger,
seeking solace
and love,
and heat
and wanting no less
then an open gate to my soul
when you touch me.
You ask nothing---
but expect perfect understanding
all too ready
to accept another Galatea
if I should fail to breath,
and yet
I am the angel of your night,
the simple tinder
of the raw flame you hide,
and you would have me for your own,
forever and always
so long as I am a benign ghost
and keep myself to your dreams.
Even angels are not so perfect,
my sweet love---
fallen angels even less so.
