Summer Moon

I never felt so alive that night
So many wrong turns with the wind in our hair
Ridiculously strong
Our bodies and minds travelling quickly under
an intoxicating summer moon
Her warm, heavy glow illuminating our heart beats
Tendrils of half-light wrapping themselves around
our speeding, electrified limbs
Asphyxiated laughter plays on the cold night air
Vapours have no time to appear
Life is too fast for such trivialities
We talked and played with life itself in those moments
In the small, liberating hours of that dark morning
I have never forgotten it
and never will.
