Desperation

Darkness flows over all
Even as my heart lightens
Stars
Peer in awe at the
Ephemeral glow of the moon
Rush of passion takes me
As he glances briefly my way
Trepidation leaves me
In silence, nothing existing
Over the mad pulse through my veins
No more desperate than
   Any other animal in lust.
