Moon-like

Timelessly yours,

my palms throb

with your scent,

they lean toward you

my sage, my love,

your hair twisted in mine,

 our fingers trace

the celestial calligraphy

the air recite~

Our hearts converse

of exquisite tales

the night never witnessed,

we couldn’t help

gazing into each other

for hours, mirroring,

enchanted and chanting: 

Light is the Way.

Speechless and moon-like,

I glow in your embrace,

now where is my prayer mat?

Center me again tonight.
