About This Poem
Midnight Pearl
MIDNIGHT PEARL
It was well past midnight, the streets dark and bare
She appeared out of nowhere, just standing there
A full moon slithered across a cloudy sky
I was mesmerized by her without knowing why
Never had I seen such a beautiful young girl
She shimmered and glistened like a precious pearl
She approached me slowly and took my hand
The warmth of her closeness was truly so grand
She guided me toward the seashore close by
Spoke not a word -- she seemed rather shy
The rest of the evening is all just a blur
When I finally awoke, I couldn't find her
I searched the shoreline both up and down
I talked with shopkeepers all over town
No one had seen this lithe sensation
And said I must be having an hallucination
Was I only dreaming -- was she really there
What actually happened -- what did we share
I may never again see this lovely young girl
But I'll always remember my Midnight Pearl
