Taciturn Lover

I confessed my secrets to the moon.
 
I spoke them softly as pages turn
 
in a book, their words overlapping on top  
 
of one another, the way two lovers  
 
whisper in each others ears. Lips tickling  
 
with a trail of shivers left behind hot breath
 
on pale milky skin bathed in the moon's glow.  
 
Leaves rustle excitedly as they listen  
 
to the susurrus of the wind passing.
 
Crickets rub their lace wings together  
 
in syncopation with the cicada’s tymbal.
 
Shutter bugs burst in animated flurry  
 
of gold and amber flashes
 
as they watch my taciturn lover and I  
 
slip away beneath a blanket of fog.
