Moonglow


We are enveloped
In cool February air
Under a starlit night sky
Embracing
Never wanting to let go.

The moon is glowing brightly
The stars are smiling with me
We speak in whispers
Wanting to savor every second together
Before we part for another night--

Maybe someday we won't have to part
You look into my eyes and tell me
You love me
That I'm yours.
Possession
Symbolically
Never felt so right. Or true.
The moon smiles
Down on us
As we bid our final goodbyes
Possession of time
Never felt so cold.

I go to sleep
Under the stars
And I can't remember
Even falling asleep
But I do remember
Thinking loving thoughts
Of you
As I slowly drifted
Out of consciousness
Feeling like
There was no time
Only an eternity
Of us--
