Moonlit murmurs
sinewy breathfuls of whispers and waifs
fall into the dark air

shameful confessions
spiral and fade in deep maroon vapor
questions of faith
hover nearby in soft lavender circles that do not disappear.
incoherent affections
float in silver and teal wisps
gasps of self-doubt
escape as sinister white flashes in the midnight shadows,
only to claw back inside.
promises ripe with passion
spark and subdue like orange embers

Moonlit murmurs
sinewy breathfuls of whispers and waifs
fall into your dark hair
as you lie raw,
stars freckling your nose,
starved and fed by
moonlit murmurs.
