I knew a young girl
just a pretty face
who lost her mind
in outer space
with a celestial body
decidedly racy
out of this world
but totally spacey
not quite the brightest light
it's true (but what a view) and yet
when gazing at the moon
turned loony... a space cadet
and 'twas the lunar orb
(waxing, waning, new or blue)
of that there's no doubt
whose gravitational pull
simply put... spaced her out
full moon in rise
cricket song
porcelain orb
sitting in sky
firefly dance
E-arly morning rays
R-ise above the horizon,
B-eacon starts to shine.

Moon
Midnight
Floating high
Brightly above
Earth
My body and I love you
My toes and feet are happy
As they run to you
My body and I love you
My thighs and legs heat up
At the idea of being in between you
My most private ones feel
Wonderful at the mere touch of you
My stomach and insides
Feel right about you
My heart and soul
Simply loves you
My body and I love you
My eyes ears and nose
Are the sights sounds and scent
That tells me that I am in love with you
My body and I love you
My head and thoughts are always thinking about you
Always thinking about you
My body and I love you
Above my veil and crown
My physical self
You are the highest love form of love and
My body and I love you
