Sky awaits one tangled moment,
where two soul’s sighs become a roar
and moonbeam glances a silver streak,
across taught sinews and tendrils,
painting adoration in gilt and velvet black.
The moonlit sky gives lovers breath,
under discreet blanket of midnight stars,
Luna’s eyes unblinking, a knowing smile,
that the sun strides the firmament in jealousy,
never witnessing loves tender nighttime touch.

Anything cosmic gets my vote. Love stars, the moon and the sun, they hold a lot of inner depth and meaning we cannot truly analyze.

Thank you very much. I wasn't sure about the title (as usual) or the length, but it re-reading it, it seems comfortable at the length it is (if that makes any sense).
