HIDDEN

 

My lips mimic the moon’s smile

My eyes rest in a star’s core

Please appear and venture

With me on a cloud

To the obscure outer space

A place of warmth

On a candle lit planet

 

Limb to limb

Lips seal

With moist breath

Our bodies flicker

With the candle’s dance

We are intimate on cloud dust

Shifting in cool darkness

 

We fear earth

With our passion exposed

So, we’ll drift the cosmic domain

Until our affair consummates


B.H.

why not, it's exquisite!!
when the feeling is this good between two people, they surely do not want to come down to earth.
And that moon will keep smiling.

Thanks always for a lovely review J.
Best, B
Not sure what to make of this one. The first two stanzas seem to conjure up a fantasy world where the speaker and an unnamed addressee frolic sensually, away from all cares. Then the third stanza opens with "We fear earth." Is this a confession of a rejection of reality? The concluding lines seem to affirm such.

I think they fear the earthly, I guess you could call it reality, as they are embarrassed to be seen.. read more
