When I Was Starlight



Nothing will 
be the same 
again; after 
that night the moon 
washed away 
all pretence - left an ash-blonde 
concupisense for me 
when I was starlight 

That the 
Angels forgave 
making amends 
whispering discretely 
in their astral creche 
saved me from desires 
the night engraved in 
their innocence 

But, alas, 
today it is long 
past-tense; and 
tho I’ll try to forget - that 
bet to be free 
might fail serially from 
being privy to 
when I was starlight
