Dark Waters

"To Dave"

I want to bathe you
In clover oceans
Under a different sky

Drown cool water
Between our bodies

Your faceless fingertips
Mend night's draperies
and recloak the world in
A starless dome with three
Silver Thread crescents.

My eyes are closed
But you make them purposeless.

The moon screams silent mist
onto our shadowed forms
as opaque tongues
from the sea
Lap at our flesh.

Intensely erotic
and peaceful

I find all that is love
In my thoughts of you.
