Nightfall

Look at me gently, my love~
as gentle as the glow
of waning moonlight 
in the quiet bosom of nightfall.

Speak softly love to me again,
As soft as a soaring symphony 
of heaven’s nocturnal orchestra 
in the gentle cadence of nightfall.


Sing to me once again, my love
those melodies written in the clouds~
whispered by the west wind
in the swaying leaves of nightfall.

Dance with me again, my love
Come hold my hand like it’ll be the last~
Let me be yours even for a moment
in the scented shades of nightfall.
