The Dust Settles
The dust settles
Slowly in the moon beams
Piercing the cloudy window
She reaches out her hand
I take it and fall
Catching the glint of twilight on her smile
There is warmth
Comfort and acceptance
But I am not here for that
There is lust
Hunger and thirst
Tonight it will be satiated
Until the next
