Star Woman

Awakened by light scratching the glass of dreams stepping free of shadows and silence... The morning star absorbing my tiredness slowly fading away leaving a blank place in the heavens... My star woman the memory of our night still lingers in my bed sheets drenched in your perfume... Before you each night I would lie down in a graveyard of dreams shrouded in moonlight... You left before dawn at 5 AM exactly drowsy and dazed the sound of your breathing... On the pillows also an aroma still alive and ours surely a goddess was here... The very one who knows the name of all things made of love... ~ ~ ~ ~
