Moonlight


The light of three cold moons
warms your sleeping body
scrawling secret words
in the lost language of dream.

The question I cannot ask
hangs heavy between us.
Padawan, my learner,
I have but one more lesson.
but I cannot teach you to love me.

How can I tell you
that your every breath
touches me in a hundred secret ways?
How can I speak the single truth
which could destroy us both?

Transfixed by the moonlight,
even a Master can almost forget.
