Written: July 06, 2023 ______________________________________________________________ In midnight darkness, a smart spherical roll Its treks into clouds as ships over hidden shoals. Wandering hearts strive for their final day. Hide-and-seek with woodland dwellers play.  To embrace a lover's chin, a lack of mystery You sparkle and vanish as promises blistery. Then depart until your eyes tear up. Ink-splattered sheets won't dry in the cup. So, any time of the day, retain a sunny face. A scentless heart's scent is spared by grace. Your curved grin is burned into my soul. I cannot claim uniqueness or be whole. So as to achieve discover a covert bearing. And seize the place of daydreaming. Whisperings of the moonlight dance Reverberate over the vast, dark glance.   In the depths of night, secrets unfold. As the clever sphere of silver and gold Through midnight shadow, it rolls and glides. Guided by unseen hands, it silently abides. Such ships through hidden shoals, navigates, Through the vast unknown, it patiently waits. They crave a love that is pure and true. A link that will bestow spirits to renew. In a game of hide-and-seek, the moon does play, As forest members peek in the moonlight sway. They watch as it dances, casting its spell. Enchanting all who dare to dwell. A wishful lost mystique, in the moon's embrace, Longing for a touch, a lover's grace. But the moon is elusive, a fleeting dream. Such as promises that vanish, it seems. It glows and then disappears from sight. Leaving behind a tear, glistening in the night. Too late to dry a page where ink stains smear, The moon's presence lingers, a memory so dear. Even in the daylight, its beauty remains. A reminder of the love that forever sustains But the brightness of the sun cannot allay The ache in a heart that's scentless in decay
