Eclipse - by Pamela Rossow

[mirmusing.livejournal.com]

it was not enough to be
drenched in your sun
showers; to have your
fingers trail moonlight
through my hair; for your
blazing lips to lock noon
heat between us;

I needed more than
galaxies between my
thighs; day breaks in
your smiles starlight
in your eyes; I tasted
forever on your tongue;
heard always in your
heartbeat; outlined we
on your chest

It was enough to be cast
in shadow; to have my
sundial blotted out by your
clouds; to see the negligible
pebbles in the hourglass; to
know the darkened cemetery
in your mouth was too much.
