First Line: Full moon rising on the waters of my heart
Subject(s): Love


Full moon rising on the waters of my heart,
Cloine tires,
Holding her lips apart.

Promises of slumber leaving shore to
charm the moon,
Miracle made vesper-keeps,
Cloine sleeps,
And I'll be sleeping soon.

Cloine, curled like the sleepy waters
whtere the moonwaves start,
Radiant, resplendently she gleams,
Cloine dreams,
Lips pressed against my heart.
