Sky is bright and gay
Night is bejeweled with enchanting stars
Moon and its beauty crafted trenches
Chirping crickets are pleasing to the ears
Creating a loquacious night.
As we stare in the vastness
Memories reflected into our senses
Awaken our souls till it cannot breath
Longing for your love in the wreath
That brings us to eternity.
It was a momentous night
When I first gazed upon your eyes
Terrified by what I would see
Slowly drowning in a perpetual river of
broken hearts and lost souls.
You are like a thief in the night
You take my heart to paradise
You rob me of my anguish and
Drown me with your affection
Till the last breath of my soul.
