You Taste Like Cinnamon Sugar

the moon sits on fire
on the mountain
where fierce wolves howl
above a cloudless sky
has embers left behind
by the burning sun
as your piercing eyes
the color of midnight rain
wash over me
your sand color skin
tastes like cinnamon sugar
and smells like myrrh
and a wild uproar erupts
inside my wistful heart
where your Spirit dwells

Author Notes
"Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" - 1 Corinthians 3:16
All senryu stanzas are 17 syllables or less.
SENRYU is a Japanese short unrhymed poem that uses imagistic language to express the essence of a deeply felt moment in time. Unlike Haiku, senryu is about human nature and doesn't need a season word. It's written in 17 syllables OR LESS and three lines. For Senryu you don't need a season word (Kigo).
