Back to Poems and Prayers

Come With Me Into The Darkness

by Ingrid Goff-Maidoff

Come with me into the darkness

where I'm not pressed to be beautiful.

Where the watched go unwitnessed, unguarded,

and deep speaks to deep in a wordless tongue.

Let me take off this outrageous costume

I bought for approval and fantasy

and go with you into the darkness

wearing only my love.

From CALLING FORTH THE RICHES
