A Lover's Moon (poem)

Moonlight pours through the open window
Filtering onto spent bodies a pale white glow

Branded upon his shoulders flush the marks of love
Crimson ribbons twist beneath light from above

Reminds me of something wild and untamed
Like the yearning for passion so long un-named

Pelts out now like unkempt sin
Upon sinewy muscle and milky skin

Atop a few mornings they will be gone
Just memories of the night’s passion song

An echo of a glow that falls across the room
Faint scratches in the lover’s moon
