Afterglow

Your limbs are gentle moving mountains
Bedsheets a shifting contour map
After the ball lightning we saw
Silence breathes
When we were phantasmagoria
When we were one and none
The how's and why's were forgotten
Now they lie aside, asleep or awaiting
In the afterglow of love
My lips grow transparent
As the tsunami fades
Fireflying on a moon-pulled tide
Soon the darkness will kiss
And seal our monologue dreams in flight
