Moonlight
Moonlight falls in white beams,
White washed dreams
Brightening the night,
And shortening the shadows.
The white light gives off no warmth,
It simply lightens the night,
Almost turning it into day.
-----------------
The lovers lay together in the moonlight.
Uncaring and oblivious
To anything but each other.
The stars sparkle like diamonds,
The mountains are distant peaks,
The sea a pool of colour,
The waves a distant roar.
--------------
The white moonlight enhances
His long white hair
And smooth alabaster skin.
Highlighting his high cheekbones
Gold eyes look into brown,
Her darker hair and feminine features
Also in sharp contrast.
---------------
They forget all else.
Friend or foe
Good or Evil
Love or Hate
Life and Responsibility
The Fight and Survival
They alone are real tonight in the Moonlight.
----------------
A moan,
A purr,
A groan,
A sigh,
A kiss,
Single moments of bliss.
---------------
Until it ends
And reality returns.
The world breaks in on them.
Forcing them apart,
Forcing them to leave each other once more.
Back to their separate lives
Until next time.
---------------
Until the next full moon
When they can be together once more.
In the moonlight.
I edited this version of the poem slightly.
