The moonlight you are dressed in

There is such an intoxicating wildness to love... O

And there is

such an intoxicating wildness to love

so giving and beautiful like the summer sun

washing away all darkness

all shadow

Listening to the song of love

in every line and letter you send me

I cannot begin to understand

how our lives were so destined to be one

how across time and space

we have united as one bright flame

but yes

how unimaginably beautiful it is 

Touching you so gently

soft, warm strokes across your skin

loving the beauty of you

the feel of you to my fingers

letting me caress your moist lips

your smile 

I enter with you now

into the story of us

loving the moonlight that you are dressed in…
