down the stairs you came
My personal angel
descended into the tenebrous haze
removed the blade from my hand
replaced it with a rose
(embraced me)
Held me for a minute . . . or forty-two
led me to a twenty-four-hour café
with free refills for every cup of bliss
In you moved
closer and closer
dazzled me with a dawdling kiss
and for the first time in my life
i saw mytrueself--only in
Your chameleon eyes
