Moroccan moon

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the wee hours of night

the stars cast a whimsy:

a shimmer; a twinkle of light

Under a blanket of clouds,

find a haven in a tangle

safe from the austere

The light of our moon

meanders among our hearts,

prolonging our ebb and departure

The lingering of the night,

flooded by tender affection,

lingered even till morning

As the sun rose,

and the warmth of day was in bloom,

among us was a blossom

And so,

Our Clandestine glow

shone our treasure from the night,

in the form of a toothbrush.
