The Midnight Lover
A bright big moon
Shines light
On the stealthy ripples
That gently rock
The boat
My body flows
With this rhythm
That has no melody
A still silence
Consumes the air
As the cackles and coos
Of the water beneath
Stop for a moment,
Hinting at the arrival
Of my lover
A strong breeze
Suddenly takes over,
Tilting the boat
Shaking the water
And trying to unwind
The fine textile
Wrapped around my body
I struggle to let go
Of my consciousness
I struggle to let go
Of my guard
Against the gaze
Of the invisible wind
“No one’s watching,”
Whispers a voice in my ear
“Let go, Let it go,”
It whispers further
The yearning and impatient wind
Rocks the boat
One last time
With the strength
Of a million horses
My body once again
Flows to the rhythm
But now wishes
To dance to the melody
Played by the cold breeze
As my blood heats up,
My breath leaves my body,
Faster and faster
Sweat drips
From every inch
Of my soul’s vessel
And dampens the veil protecting me
From nature’s eyes
Unable to control
This overwhelming desire
My frail fingers let go, at last
Of the black veil surrounding me
As the veil unwinds
Every inch of my body
Exposes itself to the wind
Becoming shy
Upon every little touch
My hair plunges down
Reaches the depth
Of the boat’s lair
As I rest my naked body
Waiting to make love
With my forbidden lover
The heat dies down
Little by little
Upon each cold kiss
One on my rosy lips
One on my tender breasts
One so subtle
Below my neck
And more and more
I close my eyes
As my senses heighten
My feelings peak
And my body becomes numb
From the wind’s
Cold embrace
As the wind
Gently caresses
Its hands
Over my soft breasts
A surge of femininity
Gushes through my veins
Soon, a vision appears
In my mind
That carefully details
My gorgeous physique
Long arms and legs
Tiny feet at the bottom
Toes and fingers
Sticking out like
Tiny branches of a maple tree,
With a circular face on top
Studded with
Almond eyes, a sharp nose, and wide lips,
All sheltered by
A sheath of dark brown skin
Oh my, Oh my!
What more can I say?
Of the beauty that God has sculpted
With great confidence and pride!
This is indeed a union of heavenly bliss,
Blessed by the dark night skies
And the glittering full moon above,
For I have found eternal love,
A love within myself
As one final kiss wets my soft lips,
I slowly open my eyes,
Witnessing the blank,
White ceiling above
Covered in thick blankets,
And insulating lounge wear,
I reminisce
Last night’s
Quintessential experience
Pots bash my door
And voices lash out
But I step down from my bed
With a newfound confidence
As night falls,
However,
I rush back
Into my lover’s arms,
And the cycle goes on…
