tonight the moon is blue
hung high over the ocean tide
murmuring love tunes
to stir up the calm water
within me

this blue flame
licking my already burning skin
reminds me of the orange Sky
we lay under

the texture of your shyness
the layers of my wanting
peeling off the first blooms
of our love
and eternal desire

Orange Sky was inspired by the poem Blue Moon. You can read more of Cassa’s poetry at Flicker of Thoughts.
