Shadows across the moon,
painted images with rose petals
dipped in moon glow and lavender.
An image fleeting from a corner eye...
Seductive pose for Luna's portrait.
Whispering nothing...
Gliding into your room...
Melting among the shadows...
A wraith in all but love's true view...
Fingers trace a lover's touch,
meandering memories of pure light.
Left long ago to wallow forever
with a gentle caress
on a thousand wings of paradise.
What the moonlight reveals,
vanishes with Apollo's rays.
Gone by dawn's true light...
as memories lure me away.
