“I Love Twilight as I Have Loved a Woman”
To love the afterglow is to love the fair, she has said
Under Selene’s womb in sweet-sugared melancholy
For she is mysterious, the veiled bride who never will wed
That Sapphic moon throng dancing nude to their bed
They remain in moon light for the fair are easily
Connected with Selene and the unearthly
To love the night is to love the maiden she sighed
With bent fatality crawling through her veins
Nightfall is bitter sweet after the one you love has died
That Sapphic moon throng will dance and will guide
Selene’s virgin pupils into reel and twirl now and again
Celestial song and verse now forgotten and buried lain
Like Selene’s womb, wane to waxing, waxing to wane _________________ “It would be a pity of lesbians and gay men retreated into the same kind of cultural separatism. " - Jeanette Winterson

I am so very surprised that no one has replied to this poem, this is seriously -- I think -- one of my best poems. Inspired by a beautifully tragic poet and seriously it's one of the few poems I loved writing as well as reading!! _________________ “It would be a pity of lesbians and gay men retreated into the same kind of cultural separatism.
