Her huge saucer eyes fill with milk,

I lap it up and drown in their waves.

Her immense moon eyes cover the earth,

I can’t see the blue water.

Where is the tidal reflection, Star-Dreamer, what does it tell us of our stormy hearts?

Her sweeping, majestic moon-milk mirrors

Can beat any mountain.

I cannot breathe when I get too near,

They sink me into it’s glossy, milky depths.

Giant eyes fill the sky, I do not want to hide

I drink them in,

They tantalize

Mortal fear may hypnotize

All others into submission,

But I’m yours forever, Moon-Milk Eyes,

In your silky arms forever,

Towering above green and blue and mountain.

I awaken,

Where is she,

My dear love?

My goddess of grace and milky green glory?

The hole in my heart grows deeper.

I’m lost without her.

I look outside, there is the moon,

I feel her in the reflection,

My heart aches and I tremble.
