Write a poem about the experience of dancing under the stars.

Star-Boy

Your breath is hot against my neck

Mine is stolen by the stars

In your eyes shine silvery specks

My fingers trace your scars


The warmth of the glacial moon chills me

You pull me closer

Here, I can finally be free

You rest your head against my shoulder


I can feel the dew on my ankles

Feel the grass tickling my thighs

You’ve reduced my mind to shambles

My throat, my heart, butterflies


You dip me low and deep

I twirl into your arms

Towards the moon I leap

If I fall, I burn


We dance under the moon until

My world is set to light

My body is bent to your will

I am your stargirl, and the stars are bright.
