Beneath the Moon

Beneath the moon I held her destiny, 
  Lapped her breath upon my tongue, 
Drank the sweet perfume of ecstasy, 
  Swooned and knew the time had come. 

Dreamed a dream of endless galaxies, 
  Drew her close into my chest, 
A universe of infinite realities 
  Fell to earth and laid to rest. 

Beneath the moon in bolts of pallor, 
  Saw her eyes reflect, eclipse, 
Held her tight in charnel valour, 
  Crushed my mouth on platinum lips. 

Beneath the moon the earth shook basking, 
  In a silver pool of light, 
She was mine for sake of asking, 
  Together we became the night.
