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
