Your face caught in the moonlight
Becomes a moon to the moon,
Two starry eyes glint,
Like pieces of flint
Striking up a fire.
The beauty of heat burns my night
My Moonflower trumpets croon.
Your hypnotic gaze
Drags me in the maze,
Fanning my desire.
Shadows fold us into earthy delight
Of bodies finding touch, we swoon
Drugged by the nectar,
In each-other’s spectre
Of sensory mire.
Psychedelic dreams burn bright
Stinging like thorns of a boon.
Urgency of our need
Scatters the seed
Dousing the pyre.
In parting you retreat from sight
No promises of “see you soon”,
Just a lingering heat
Of a shared heartbeat,
Fading strains of a siren’s lyre!

Strike the right balance between enjoyment and addiction, and there is so much to explore.
