Goddess By Moonlight
You have never seen the moon
silver my breasts,
when I've kicked aside the blankets
and waited for the night air
to slip over my skin.
You feel my flesh
in your own fashion,
know only so much
of what is sweet
but you don't know
who I am
when the goddess wakes
and takes me
for her singular worship.
I feel the nubble of cotton sheets
skin growing too warm
and sensitive
to even the kiss
of cooling night air.
You think I am who you desire,
but she is wearing my skin
and bidding you
to fall to your knees
and pray using the sounds
that were old when man was young.
I am timeless,
hungry,
and wandering free...
You dream of taking me,
but will find
that you touch divinity
in one shimmering moment
when all is honey and salt
longing and want
and oh yes...
I will guide you to the light.
