Moon-shine’s Ministrations
Moon-shine greets
me brightly
with full, luscious lips
embracing my own
in the deepest
of shared kisses;
she slips sweetly
across my tongue
like honey whiskey
tipped into coffee
on crisp mornings,
her liquid heat
filling my cold belly,
coaxing my surrender
to her ministrations
as she smooths
my furrowed brow,
bidding me goodnight
on hushed whispers
lulling me to sleep
before the sun
rises and puts
us both to bed
me brightly
with full, luscious lips
embracing my own
in the deepest
of shared kisses;
she slips sweetly
across my tongue
like honey whiskey
tipped into coffee
on crisp mornings,
her liquid heat
filling my cold belly,
coaxing my surrender
to her ministrations
as she smooths
my furrowed brow,
bidding me goodnight
on hushed whispers
lulling me to sleep
before the sun
rises and puts
us both to bed

I think this has to be the most beautiful 'quip' about insomnia I've ever read.

If only alcohol was a cure for insomnia. It wakes me up in the middle of the night like an alarm clock when my brain sobers up. On the bright side, then I get to enjoy the moon. No pun intended. I'll shut up now.
A delightful poem. You should bottle this up into a six packed series titled "Luna's Moonshined Ministrations". I'll shut up for real this time.

I’m with you, alcohol is always a sure-fire way to ensure a visit from Insomnia as soon as my brain gets wind of reality again. Although, I could see Lunar Libations as a thoroughly valid set of volumes; I’d only need to summon the ghosts of my 20’s and I could have a complete set by Friday 😂.

This is such an interesting metaphor, rather sultry, so the voice speaks to me that way. I've been having sleepless nights, sans high phase, and I don't know why.

Insomnia is sleepless twilights as spirits raffle one's soul. My grandmother told me that. She was known to have tipped the Four Roses.
