[Inspire2NADIA]

What Do You Ask For?

And as the moon draws near,
Pulling to our desires as roughly
As a tide -

Tell me,

What do you ask for?

Whisper
To
Me.

Or should I trace the words,
Silent from your lips...a taste so full,
So sweet -
It hangs with pleasure
In the air.

Tell me,

What do you pray for?

Whisper
To
Me.

Or should I read this mystery
That lingers in your eyes,
And breathing close to you...should I whisper
Something back?

Tell me,

What do you ask for?

And together...we will whisper secrets
To the moon.
