Love Poem: Nocturnal

Nocturnal

Tonight I pray
that sleep will open
it's deep and silent hall
the sky is on the ground
as if a mirror...

Night is always
the sea of ancient dreams
I crave your dark body
is soon next to mine 
I'm a shipwreck of the forgotten...

You are my dark angel
coming to me from heaven
on the invisible ladder
from the infinite sea
that mirrors the sky...

You speak to me a song
yielding your lips and thighs
to offer your tongue of fire
to bring to me your mystery
of flesh, blood and desire...

Tonight I cannot sleep
I am a prisoner
in my own bed
I yearn for the sweat
that dampens our thighs...

Outside my foggy window
a lone star emerges
trembling and awake
such a shy apparition
light from centuries ago...

Maybe tomorrow night
not this cruel long night
yellow with fire all night
I will be content next
to your warm body...
