We met online

he told me he’d emigrated

last summer

wanted to move somewhere

with an ethereal view

I was starstruck

He’d wait for me

A vision

shimmering @ dusk,

coal-eyes glittering fire

Devilish smile

Pearly whites on dis-play

A Lunar delight

@ witching hour

I’d lie awake,

restless,

And curse that cold orb

A large pearl

cloaked in black velvet
