moonlight
only I know
about this yearning
on the threshold to night
if only you were here
your chill touching me
your breath on my ear
the silky perception
of your piercing hands
on my skin
while the embrace of night
sharpens my senses
and wakes a strange creature
to jump out of me into the forests
and search for prey
to scream, to sing and to dance
I silently quench my breath
and my vision reaches distant worlds
dreams of
your shining hair in moonlight
a movement of your rigid eyes
your pale lips
how beautiful they are
blood filled
will be my secret as well
while my body lacerates
my soul eats itself up in clanking fire
nothing remains but to return
into my world
before insanity reaches me
just one more moment
to yearn
before my silent scream
soaks the universe
if you gave me one night only
in your arms
just a few moments
to behold you
and sink into you
my steely fen
my awful angel
my end would mean nothing to me
in your presence
nothing the sword in my heart
had I perceived you only once
