Sleepless Night

Once upon a crime at moonlight when the shadows stole across the sky, I felt your whispers broke into my night and roused me in a twinkling of an eye. I sat at the shores of ages past...so fresh; the nude sand breath softly on my skin, I was lost in the memories of a manic-mesh: a fragrant fire that still burns deep within. I gaze to find that sparkling star with which I crafted your name above, all I found was the scourching scar you left on the skin of our priceless dove. I can still hear your loudest wishes, in those nights we drowned so deep in a pool of pleasure, now filled with ashes; I see invisible tears of nights I couldn't sleep.
