In the Absence of Moonlight

In the Absence of Moonlight A serenade he had prepared A love song of desire Her to the moon he had compared They’d meet within the hour But oh, dear moon ,where have you gone? My song will sound so sour I pray your presence won’t be long We meet within the hour A little re-write here and there She’s now a gorgeous flower No time had he, for despair They meet within the hour Her ears are filled with serenade Her heart, it feels the power Pleased was he, with changes made And more so for that hour. For Andrea’s One in Three Contest
