Sunrise on the Moon in Faeryland

by

Doug Larson

out of black
slits crescent fire
a dragon’s eye
shadow fire paint
illuminating my desire
in streaks of black and white
crater pocked surface
the face of the moon
in sunrise hues
and the temperature’s rising baby
rising with the sun
the blue-white marble of the earth
opalescent jewel
tranquil upon your breast
flashing unrivaled color
within the velvet black of space
the serenity of your glittered face
sparkling the heavens
in wonder
and I wonder
as comets of fire and ice
streak your celestial tresses
what I could possibly do
as a simple moon
to hold the blazing light
of your starry gaze
to taste the breath
of your solar breeze
to feel your heaven’s kiss
as bliss
upon my dusty cheek
now turned to cool
in orbit slow ellipse
the gaping crater’s maw exposed
from whence fell
the meteor my beating heart
concealed at impact
stilled by ancient layers
of silent lunar dust
waiting patient
the warm and lustful bite
your shovel’s hungry blade
-
come
dig me baby
dig my sugar candy heart
read the sugar sweet intaglio
taste my sweetness on your lips
then chew until I’m gone
my memory a bright red stain
emblazoned on your tongue
and
as the stain slowly fades
the sweetness spreads and flourishes
in the tropical wetness of your mouth
a powdered sugar Tahitian beach
drenched with liquid syrup love
beckons you impatiently
to frolic naked
the warm and sensual waters
of the living atoll
to dance among rock candy corals
seahorsing around the anemones
in timeless ecstasy
with me.
