Wax Of Desert Moon |

Leisurely they stalked the moon’s darkness in pale light of peppered stars. Lacing strings of brilliance with cool, deft fingertips as icy comets chased an invisible horizon. It was there beneath the ebb that a kiss lingered and hearts strummed melodiously to a tune of fervent sighs. It was there, beneath towering rocks that sand trails traced a lover’s dance in wait the dawn’s chill as a blanket fell on rising flesh. And as eyes closed ever slowly against the twinkle of a dipper’s drip, the owl cried...awaiting a rustle amongst a solitary tree’s slender tendrils...that a moonlight sonata might again be played.... before the eyes of howl bay a waxing moon’s plea...and a kiss awakes the dawn once more. |
