Light Years

a million light years from home
i walk through the Milky Way
like a soul possessed
longing for you across the silver sea
tasting your
divine nectar
under
the moonlight
i devour the forbidden fruit
with glee
trembling and asking for more
you smile
like an angel on heat
warming my heart
in the moist hour
at the
dawn of time
you share
the divine secrets
of survival
on the edge of infinity
a place
of eternal love
and perfect peace
