The open window beside our bed Welcomes the light of southern moons Highlighting the shape of your body The hill of your waist to upper thigh I want to drink the moon From every inch of your form Hold you in the night as if this world Stands still just for the two of us merely for a moment As the smell of the wind and the sounds of the magnolias rusting in the distance float on in My eyes fall heavy in this paradise of a bed
The insects sing songs of our dreams in the midnight hours
