Silvered

Silvered

That night the moonlight 
Poured through the bedroom window
Like a pail of spilled milk.
The two lovers bathed in its sweetness.
And their hearts became alive.

Soothing in its touch on their skin
The moon whispered tenderness 
As it had done since time began.
It’s lights danced upon the floor 
And sent joy into their hearts.
The silvered light washed away
All want and lust 
Replacing it with gentleness 

That night the moonlight 
Poured through the bedroom window
Like a pail of spilled milk.
The two lovers bathed in its sweetness.
And their hearts became alive.
