Opal Love

Opalescent iridescence
Reflects the lovers' kiss
And casts a dancing shadow on
The image of their bliss

Breasts in their pale white milkiness
Glow like opals bright
In secret places of shining love
Where silvered moons shed light

Tiny patches of ice and fire
Reflect the moonlit dance
And fling wild sparkles to the sky
To celebrate romance.
