    About this ebook

    To the Moon is a chapbook of poems thrown at the Moon ~ and back. Again and again, unconditionally.


    Your silhouette falls in my mouth

     

    Your silhouette falls in my mouth

    Repeatedly

    I could not speak, in pleasure

     

    You compel me to rise and fall

    To be lost and found

     

    In your quivering hands

    You confuse the bones out of me

     

    I look for myself in the rush

    And fainting ebb

    Of your sighs

    That I find myself in your soul

     

    As tonight, I love you with kisses

    Smoothly etched

    Between the sheets

    Of your being.

     

    I will open you, petal by petal

     

    I will open you, petal by petal

    Slowly, amidst exchanging breaths

    Feel my fingers send ripples down your skin

    Tracing constellations made of desires, erupting

    Urges

     

    Watch me surrender my soul

    To every inch of your splendor

    While I examine the pages of your body

    Soft, glowing, and infinite

    Every pore, every curve

    Nothing will be left untouched

     

    Feel how my lips write my devotions on your naked self

    The blunt confessions of a soul, in lust with divinity

    And make your body tremble

    With your already trembling lips

    For I will eat you down, until your words falter

    Until your sighs learn to pray

     

    And beneath the curious moon and the shy burning stars

    I will look straight into your eyes

    Bask in every expression you make

    As I stretch you open, with my hard wicked body

    Digging in to you — slowly, passionately

    And without mercy

     

    While love, that strange mysterious love, melts

    Into our sweat

    Then I will hold you, pull you, closer, closest

    Oh, my most sacred — now gasping, relished

    Yet we still need

    To inhale each other

     

    With tears in our eyes, we turn our soft murmurs

    Into deafening moans

    Moans that conjure the Soul of God

    (Because the holiest moans can only come

    From two imperfect souls, meshed

    In prayer)

     

    And then nothing — nothing but ecstatic bliss

    And the desire to be enlightened

    Shall be

    No more

     

    For nothing will remain

    But the combined scent of two souls

    One shared breath, and a dreamless sleep

     

    For once, let me show your body

    What it really means

    To be touched:

     

    Like a moth, caressed

    By fire.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
