As we lay

For as we lay,

The sun, the moon, the stars at play.

Ivory limbs framed casually,

A midnight velvet sea of stars and night.

Whispers caught like fireflies in webbed constraint,

A little closer, a little closer,

A bridge of ecstatic breath.

The lights above, shadows between,

Cold to the touch; icy embers ignite goosebumped delight.

Call me yours, for you are mine,

Across the spaces, flesh and time.
