Moonlight Memory

Briskly comes forth the night
The moon reflects the sea
And softly speaks to me
The shining sapphire light
And the stars glowing bright
Wakes a deep memory

Sensing your gentle eyes
Longing for your embrace
For your smile, for your face
Instead I agonize
Beneath the darkened skies
For none can take your place

In our hearts, we shall stay
Alas, the light of day
