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.
