Moonlight Love

In that hidden mystery I call my mind; There are places I seldom go; It’s in these places that my soul often cries out; Perhaps in likening to the wolf that howls to the moon While my heart beats it’s irregular rhythm; The thought of you consumes me; And my waking moments; They are of you and the times we spent together. And I miss you so much; And I want so much; To see that me; That once reflected in your eyes. While draped in my shielded cape of invisibility; I imagine standing before a gap; I want to jump; but I won’t. For on the other side is the unknown. And I remember so clearly; Your answer when I asked if you liked me was; “Do I like you; I like you like crazy” And I loved the sound of that so much. It turns out it was me; It’s me that’s crazy. I was crazy to leave when I did; I was crazy to have never come back. We loved spending time together; And we were together but; No one owned anyone; And our obligation was simply to enjoy. How we ravished each other; We were as two lone timber wolves; Filled with desire; That we burned by the light of the moon. And I understand now; The desire to cry out; For as I look into nights illuminations; It seems that here, lost dreams must live.

Leonard, "To see that me that once reflected in your eyes" says much about our desire to see the things our loved ones see in us. And it's so true that "lost dreams must live" in "night's illuminations." I like both the imagery and the way this poem moves the reader. Love, Carolyn
