A Celibate Moon

 

  

They walked along the moonlight beach

as salty waves caressed the shore

Savoring each precious moment

for each other they did adore~

 

They lived beneath a celibate moon

til passion in shadows did beckon

 

And as the ocean softly whispered

sweet nothings in still of night

Footprints in ivory sands

Slowly disappeared from sight~

 

Behind the dunes of sandy beach

they shared forbidden love

Until the wingspan of the dawn

                appeared like a turtle dove~

 

They embraced their chance

to share bronze bodies

a tango of sweet romance~

 

As they tasted of loves salty fragrance

they shared essence of their sun dance.
