Emotions raw with waiting bleed
upon the night, gentle stains
invisible to all, but in
moonlight I am pale
in shine-skin,
waiting,
still and poised
for your balm, brutal
in its absence yet so close,
hidden in the air that tortures

me with touch unseen, yet felt by
every other sense that mounts
the wall of stubborn heart�s
defense, knowing that
it is not real in
moonlight,
where I wait,
still and broken for
your presence in my flesh,
your mark upon my wanton breast.

So, in this light, what else can I do
but fall willing to the hands of
time, cruel master of my
need, devourer of all
breath while I,
waiting
still and pale
long for you to call
my name, the hour and the
way of my undoing in your arms?
