it is a silent night as the stars are fast asleep,
nestled peacefully in their beds of debris and empty space,
sated by the cream of the milky way.

the clock is a heavy hammer that beats on her heart
and the time for patience, has long past.
what a fool she has been to think
such a deceitful relationship could prevail.

cruelty; humans be fools as they scorn and they mock her.
for each broken heart, she will cry another
tear
which will wreak havoc on her already delicate physique.

treat with care--such simple instruction,
but those who claim themselves to be wise
seldom adhere this simple request. 

faithfulness glides through the door to look her in the eyes:
his mind is a hurricane, thundering with denials on the cusp of his tongue;
his heart flutters, with the weight of his emotions;
his hands tremble, with the stain of an adulterous thrill;

his eyes plead silently. for what? she does not desire to know.
he whimpers--a dog in all rights--struggling to excuse himself,
but alas, the guilt is an impenetrable barricade
to the words itching to leave his throat.

the two bask in the fragility of the moment.

it is a silent night as trust sits broken in her naivety,
while temptation lies peacefully amongst the stars;
nestled peacefully in a bed of silk and pleasurable aches,
sated by the cream of a forbidden delicacy.
