Starlight Express

Not a single cloud to mask the night,
the moon , round and full,
smiles down at us as we meet.
Under a canopy of leaves, where we
first met. Our ticket to heaven resting
between us, we begin our journey of love.

You call me your starlight, your love,
but your smile illuminates the night.
My soul lies in your hands, resting,
trembling in anticipation of the ride, full
of delectable pleasures that we
are prepared and anxious to meet.

I feel my pulse quicken as our lips meet,
beating out the sound of our love.
Time freezes in space as we
melt into each other. This night
our needs, demanding to be full,
conduct us forward, No Resting!

Worlds spin around us, without resting,
out of control. Our passions meet
their swirling motion, explosive! Full
of their power, the surplus of our love
spills new stars across the night,
streaming in our wake. We

are the comet's fiery beauty. As we
stop, hesitating for a split second, resting,
at a slowed pace, we breathe in the night
air, cool and refreshing. Then, your eyes meet
mine and send me spinning in love,
once more desiring to be full.

Our height attained, our hearts full,
we sleep in this galaxy that we
created, motionless at last. "I love
you," I sigh onto your skin, resting
my head on your shoulder, waiting to meet
your gaze that melts me as the black from night.

This train is full, just you and me, resting
in this sweet sensation. Together, we meet
true love taking our Starlight Express through the night.
