Riff
under orion's shadow
and a waxing moon,
fate did sprinkle
a handful of stardust
on you and me last evening.
"give in, give in," said the stars.
but you, determined to be difficult,
let me drown my desires
in the capuccino swirls,
and the last few crumbs
of unholy dark chocolate
sticking to the lazy curves
of a silver spoon called need.
and a waxing moon,
fate did sprinkle
a handful of stardust
on you and me last evening.
"give in, give in," said the stars.
but you, determined to be difficult,
let me drown my desires
in the capuccino swirls,
and the last few crumbs
of unholy dark chocolate
sticking to the lazy curves
of a silver spoon called need.
