Love Poem: Mistress of the Moon

Mistress of the Moon

Her name was lust
 and she loved me strong.

she took in my soul
  and exhaled mere particles
of my being.

I, lost in the gentle 
surroundings and
silent whimpers of light 
flowing from her
   eyes. 

for a brief moment
we spoke in the same
tongue. and breathed 
the same textures
dancing through the room

sweat glistened off her
skin while inviting mine to 
  join in this 
             dance. ritual cleansing
   of the spirits.

they cried with me in
that moment- shedding tears
of joy and despair. rinsing
my head of the fear
  rushing through my veins.

I was alone in that
moment, with her skin 
against mine. mind dark 
with h- hesitation.
    rolling around the springed
wood, I lose myself within the
swinging blades.   (be easy. be still)

she slowly covers her
back-sleek and moist-
and vanishes into the glooming
shadow. leaving me with the
cold chill     of            satisfaction

Farewell,   my mistress of
the moon-
