Moon

The coolness of the evening flows in through open windows, caressing my skin

gently touching those places that miss hands and fingertips

the motion of the breeze creates a stillness within me, a breathless presence

Like a lover transfixed by the slowly revealed beauty of the beloved,

as clothes fall silently to the floor.

tonight the moon is my lover

silver light falling across my body

kissing skin, nibbling ears

Her teasing draws me deeper into the mystery

wanting to hold her vast beauty in my arms

to gaze deeply into her eyes

and hear the music of her voice
