ILLUSION

 

The fire is bright and the temple burns

Beneath the shining moon and stars

Like a kiss in a storm

The night is young and full of rest

The heat in my soul is fire and ice

I’ll do anything that you suggest

My breath is soft like a warm wind

You bathed my skin in ether glow

The abiding interest of your fantasies blend

My wild words slip into fusion

The hour of the wolf has now ended

You awake and wonder—

An illusion
