Had the heart need to harbor august eyes,
Perpetuate the cause and concern,
And ramble aimlessly the tirade
Envisioned in the scrap or scar
Or birth of a thousand nuances
Indelibly measured, weighed
Against the flesh of the past,
Then the present would seem
An immeasurable distance from
The surface of the moon:

Gasp
Sigh
Nibble
Shiver
Shake

A bead of sweat rolls
Down, trailing curves
Yet to be seen by enraptured
Eyes. The touching of lips—

Unmoving
Frozen
Forgotten
His and Hers

Oh the impermeability!

—Tastes like rain
Splashing against the soul;
The touch of soft
Breath rising and a hand
Brushing against a thigh
Preludes gravity in a moonlit
Bedroom.

Had the heart need to harbor august eyes,
It could do so in a flickering flame;

Vanilla permeates and escalates
The thoughts the eyes wish conveyed—

His lips.

Damn, that's good. I'm trying real hard not to be inspired to write along these lines. (It's late, should be givin' it up for the night).

This is another beauty.

It would seem that I am not the only one who is entranced by moonlight, or moonlit bedrooms.

Thank you.

Outstanding! I love the scent of vanilla, and yes, it permeates the senses, as does this poem.
