Benjamim João Luís: “Conversations in the dark”

By Benjamim João Luís on July 8, 2020 in Poetry

Click Here To View Comments

In the darkness of the walls into my room emerged a soft and captivating voice
It woke me up from the numb,
I opened my eyes, felt negative energy and my heart pounded thrice

She whispered calling my name
I had goosebumps and melt myself
A mysterious mysteriously excited me

A woman with no identity visited me,
Desired me
In the darkness she touched me,
And made me desire the undesired

Undesired was that strange feeling and energy
I took a breath and prayed
Suddenly left, was a wicked visitor
