Characters: Miroku and Sango
Summary: Eros requires contact.

Sometimes when I
Refrain from touching you
Just long enough

You speak--something
Of the comfort you draw
When you meet another kindred soul

I? Comfort?
How shall I
When you keep me

At arm's length
Cannot touch you
Or kiss away

Old hurts
I see them in your eyes
Shine, shine

Then shatter
Like a mirror, so perhaps
I was seeing myself

Reflected back
Darkly all along
Dark like the sky

Under which you told me
Secrets, whispered in my ear
Hiss softly, only I hear

But did you really
Want me to listen
Or just to pour out

The liquid lead weighing down
Your heart,
So that with out it, you

You could rise
Float away, leaving
Me to burn my holy hands with your heavy burden.
