Rendezvous

They must meet someday
Your demons and mine
Quietly over coffee they must discover each other
Resting their elbows gently on the table
In almost the same manner in which we explored ourselves years ago
They must hover over each other and share
Their secret fetishes for darkness
Your demons and mine
What makes you choose retreat over passion or passion over faith
What makes me ignore frailties of time or slice with words till the moon turns blue
What breaks you shut or makes me leave
What lies beneath
Your demons and mine.
It's in their nature
Cloak and dagger
Appear and disappear
Your demons and mine
While the cards lie on the table
A few hide up the sleeves
They perform
Your demons and mine
Bury and show
Smile and wink
Playing poker
Your demons and mine.

Your demons and mine
Must get to know each other before we are convinced of our own self justified selves
They must meet over coffee
Naked, unearthed.
