Dark Angel

Covering in a thick black warmth

Mind whirling, struggle to hold its footing

Soft flutter of lashes

White-hot blow of senses at midnight

Still, silent, frantic struggle

Sudden sweet loss of control

Arch of neck and wrist and ankle

Quietly flaming under the moon

Beneath the weight of the lily-white moon

Desperately grasping for the safe and sure

Seeking to sate the restlessness

Hovering, enfolding wings in darkness

Slipping in and out of lovely madness

Bending to the strong

Dark angel fly inside

Seething under the still-bright moon

Twining into pale dusk

Twisting to the will of the stars

Revelling in the sheer madness

Dumbstruck and moonstruck in a gloaming
