The sparkling lights gathered rainbows around her head.
Stars echoed in the night sky above.
Her face awash with shadows,
Her chest full of leaps and tumbles, as nightfall stands before her.
His tall frame and light eyes watching her expressions.
She had never seen such splendour, not even in the twinkling lights of winter.
His movement slow, yet steady;
Tentatively he unfolds a velvet wing, awash with bright stars.
Her soft hands clasped now in his, as he guides her with his celestial wings,
Pulling her into the moonlit shadows to meet his caresses.
The night surrounds her now, like a dream.
His wings folding around her, washing away all loneliness.
He pulls her close letting the warmth of the moon fill her heart.
All too soon the sun begins to rise,
And the moon starts to fade from her heart.
The night's shade begins to dim as the glimpse of the first rays appear,
Washing away his deep dark purple shadows.
His grip grows weaker and his warmth dissolves from her reach.
He whispers softly as the first rays stretch golden, amber light across the sky.
His voice slowly fading.
A faint murmur of promise on the breeze to meet again at twilight.
