Tonight
The moon calls me.
I feel its silvery cry
Through every wall.
I step outside
I kneel and drink it in:
Every particle
Of its frigid beauty.
In it flows,
Deeper and deeper,
And out again.
It runs through me,
Drips from
The tips of my fingers,
Invisible ink
On virgin-white vellum.
Night voices whisper
Of laughter, long forgotten
Oblivious vows
Alien dreams.
Imagination's breath
Gives ultraviolet words
The kiss of life.
And suddenly
You all rise
From hidden places.
You sing songs
Of love long lost,
Perishable promises,
Past pa**ion plays .
We dance a
Sensuous moon dance,
Enfolded in
Black-blue velvet
Shot-through with
Threads of ice-cold silver
While comets fall
And shower us
With things
That were.
