"These Midnight Hours" - a poem by Marissa Moses

These Midnight Hours
BY MARISSA MOSES

These midnight hours I devote to you
when light is scarce in the starless night
And through my mind creeps the longing passion
that swells in my veins and tortures the heart

Yet I yearn for this pain in these hours so late
as the wind beguiles softly with song
And in my silent reverie I want of your kiss
that stings deeply Through flesh and desire
