When One Day Comes, This Night Will Follow

Pull back the veil of the spider-silk sky And let both our bodies belong to the night. Like moonlight on marble, like shadows on skin, Your touch can bring beauty, bring changes within. Paper thin, sheer, like all colour has run; I feel I'm transparent when held to the Sun. So brush me with vibrancy, fill in the gaps, Create with kaleidoscopes, mirrors and maps. Set free your fingers to trail over ice, Be gentle, bejewelling, a crystalline white. Trace lines of literature like each word is new, Lure me in lullabies of emerald and blue. Mould me and melt me as if I were gold, Be the richest of men, take my hand to hold. Move as one body til the stars cease to shine, And put back the veil cross the spider-silk sky.
