The crescent Moon stole
across the white of your pillow
Softly she kissed the amulet
and I felt the charge
You rose like smoke
from a November fire
and blew through the window
to lie on the fleece
spread before me
Naked
you slept as I took my prize
held by the charm
unwoken by my touch
I tasted you
tested you
knew you
a second kiss as my Moon departs
locks you to my love
You wake to my eyes
and welcome me
Mine
Till the Moon
sets you free
