The Joy of Missing Stars
Her skin was as dark as night
And when she stood up
Against a diamond studded sky
It was as though all the stars caressed her
While her silhouette fell across the heavens
I remember her elegance and beauty
As I watched the perfection of her form
Walk about me in the brilliance of the dark
And as the warmth of her body engulfed me
I watched while all the stars blinked out
One by one
