Moonlight

only I know
about this yearning
on the threshold to night

if only you were here
your coolness 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
