Full with the Moon

Sweet, languid,
morning love
is not what I need
now.

Give me sheath of night
and summer thunder,
only the casual stir
of banana leaves
to fan flesh,
the kind of play
that troubles the mind
by daylight:
pulse of dark, ancient caves,
or the starved hunt
through snaking vines
in a jungle
wet.

Corinne - I must say this is one morning that sounds very good. I really liked the intense passion you captured in this and the metaphors you used. Well done.
