Noctuary

The Orionid rained down 

And we were whirling 

Watching the star trails in each other's eyes 

You saw my soul

I saw the past when you and I were up there 

Colliding during the Big Bang 

We met again 

Hands, eyes, lips, thoughts

They all met again

And when you touched me

The moon grew fuller 

Its light incandescent

The emotion incalescent. 

Your essence

Soothed me 

How could it be 

You were always here 

Even when you weren't?

We swayed in daydreams 

Of what tomorrow would bring 

We drank the stars 

And intoxicated off of our love 

And starlight 

You held me tight 

And whispered candy words in my ear 

I kissed 

You licked 

And we erupted 

And melted.

The moon knew all our secrets that night 

She saw our passion 

And indulged her light on our desire, 

Our bodies half-bathed in her beams.

Cloaked under night's veil 

We took a roller coaster to the stars 

They will forever remember

the way we breathed each other's names...
