Cry In The Moonlight

Deep black waters
reflect a silver moon
shimmering
in midnight mists.

Eyes drift slowly
over ghostly forms,
appearing, then fading
back into shadow.

Thoughts turn to you.
So lovely, ethereal;
soft golden hair
and alabaster skin.

God how you excite me!
Your face appears
on the rippling surface
of dark waters.

I, mesmerized
by unearthly beauty,
which only the gods
could have created.

If I asked,
would you wrap me
in gossamer silk,
and carry me with you?

I want – need
to float silently
over glowing clouds
in your loving arms.

My heart aches
with desire for you.
I have no other home
but within your heart.

What a stunning poem! *sigh*...I don't have words to describe how beautiful it is.

Love and hugs,
