Milk & Moonshadows

Standing naked,
Bathed in milky moonlight,
Murmur of night breeze
Kisses damp skin.
Gelatin silver contrast shadows reveal
Shifted landscapes:
New peaks jut proudly,
Others subsiding.
I cradle hot flesh,
Relieve the rock hard heaviness.

Sleeping shape senses my presence,
Smells me,
Stirs.
We cling stickily,
Bathed in sweat,
Nuzzling skin
Darkened by Sister Sun.

Familiar bittersweet prickle
Floods.
Deep draw:
I overflow,
Rivers of silver cascading down peaks and gullies.

Tiny fingers spasm involuntarily,
Eyes rolling in milk-drunk stupor,
Breathing slows with
Soporific sighs…

I am nourishment.
I comfort.
I am peace.
I am Goddess.
