Moonlit Night

Skin transformed to silver beneath the sweep of leaves, 
Peach and nitrate in the moon glow and the shaven silhouette; 
Filtered through the branches, latticed on her breast, 
Polychromatic prisms corralled in pin-prick beads of sweat. 

Summer heat and darkness enticed us ever closer, 
Bathed in pallid moonbeams and stardust memories; 
Laying down together, we as one upon the soil, 
And the heavens smiled upon us as we dreamed beneath the trees...
