Black Feathered Sky
“Love! Love until the night collapses!”
― Pablo Neruda, Machu Picchu
Full moon becomes an eternity in a black velvet feathered sky
Mirrored in your eyes
A million brilliant stars pale, white jasmine sweetens fragrant air
Blooming in your hair
Upon your honeyed lips, my yearning ache to dwell
Caught up in your spell
Riding high on an undulating groundswell
The earth moves below our thrashing hips
High in the sky the pearl moon collapses, a startling eclipse
Mirrored in your eyes, blooming in your hair, caught up in your spell
