Moon Again
Moon again tonight we meet in lonely quietness
And we stare into each other silently
Saying the same consistency and faithfulness
That keep us loving and yet apart
No one will truly understand our love. Your cold
Stone ravishing beauty, your immobile
Willingness to let my fancy explore your body
And you still taut despite my caress. This is such
A primal devotion of unsplashing passion.
For all the years of our meeting in desire
We edge the carnal unknown but restrained less
The convulsive flesh expires and extinquish
Our feelings for each other. Does it offend you
That I speak so plainly to your face fixated?
Have I ignored some essential purpose for us,
Since in every part of the world I go you remain
The one constant I cannot escape? I have seen
You even some daytime stalking me like a star
And I have ran, but never so far as you are.
Moon again tonight I would collapse in your arms
And leave the loneliness of the years to drain
Away in every drop of tears. O, but, these eyes
Are ever dry, they never tell upon my heart. I
Keep alone the secrets for which they substitute
Lies to share. What if they knew the truth
That you are only callous rock inside? How would I
Look to love a flowery reflection of just light?
Moon again, just do not leave waiting alone tonight.
