Moonlight Moments

** Image ID #1996026 Unavailable **

The shadows, faint upon the wall,
Move to the soft song of moonlight.
This moment, that holds us in thrall,
Passes as our passions ignite.
         Together, we answer the call
         Of love's tender whisper tonight.

Lips meet and then move with resolve,
Exploring in shadowy lands.
With each touch, our constraints dissolve
Finding bliss at each other's hands.
         We watch our desires evolve
         As we yield to passion's demands.

There's no sense of formality
As friction fans flames of desire.
This moment's our reality
As bodies and souls conspire.
         As we move toward finality
         We bask in the warmth of love's pyre.

As we lie, wrapped in the moon's glow,
The heat of the moment abates.
Yet the ember that we watched grow
We know, deep inside, still awaits.
         The passion that's left us aglow
         Will return; it patiently waits.
