My moonlight, you warm the skein that wraps the tender walls of my heart Your delicate fingers glide through the golden strings of the harp That guides me to slumber in our tender paradise Where you and I watch the universe unfold, and spiral And make turn, and make waves and dream of celestial saccharine music Your voice a Delphic phantom still unknown to mine My moonlight, you I know are a fleeting silhouette in the window next to my soul That rises and falls and dims into oblivion leaving me behind in the dark wandering
Your eyes stab delicate passions into my chest Cupid’s arrow piercing the absurd that had formed in my breast Your smile, wry yet sweet, a deep meaningful nothingness O Goddess, O Venus you have sent me from the abyss And my loneliness have turned into sweet wine that I drank With Bacchus I bathe on the springs of callous revelry For you my moonlight, my heavenly star I wake The most beautiful being My eyes ever laid upon
