Love in Moonlight





You taste like my soul on fire
Fears roasted over pit
Like every longing and desire
Like tongue and lips and spit
Like all my love could barely fit
Like day and dusk and night
Like every blessing I will get
I fell in love in moonlight

You move like a king, an empire
The world rises as you sit
Upon your throne where you require
The love that I submit
You rule under every bit
Take my body, hold me tight
Truth’s the last thing I’ll omit
I fell in love in moonlight

You love so hard planets conspire
To shift and change orbit
To dance around whom you admire
Cause they know that I’m the shit
They know our love’s legit
They know our love is right
No one compares they’re all unfit
I fell in love in moonlight

We dwell where dreams will never quit
You hold me here with all your might
As if I could resist
I fell in love in moonlight
