Caretaker of Memories

Evening shade
Stars, keepers of memory
Illuminating lonely nights
Igniting thoughtful recognition
Holding true darkness at bay

Wishes found buried
Deep inside loving caresses
Hidden in the flesh
Locked inside eyes
Whispered from lips

Moments of bated breath
Before touch ever existed
Lubricious anticipation
Libidinal energy
Want born inside the mind

Recollection of the moon
Swimming over the past
Weaving strings of time
Into the immortal souls
Of lost creatures

Inside this realm
Of fallen angels
Peace is found
In the quiet of the universe
Where memories go to live
