I saw you last night
Under the silvery moonlight
My arms around you
Whispering softly in your ears
Calming your fears.
You sobbed softly
As insects hissed nearby and
I gently wiped away your tears.
I held you lovingly
As the moon moved silently
Across the starry night
And an owl hooted on high
Among the branches.
I felt your throbbing heart
As your chest heaved
With every measured painful sigh.
I kissed you slowly
Enjoying every single moment
Under the twinkling stars
As we clutched unto each other
Too scared to let go.
We said nothing for a while
But stood still in the night
Allowing our minds to wonder.
But you’re gone today
I see not one trace of you.
I keep yearning to hold you
But you can’t be found.
I stretch out my arms
But no one embraces me.
The moon no longer shines brightly
For you no longer come around.
I was only dreaming
Dreaming of the moments
We shared beneath the branches
Of the giant palm tree
Or as the moonlight glistened
On the water while we strolled
Along the sandy shore
Of the silvery Caribbean Sea.
Yea I was only dreaming
I wish I still were asleep
For it pains to lose you
It pains so much to see you go.
Yet I still hear the words
You whispered when we parted ways
I still taste the tears you shed
Beneath the soft moonlight glow.
I wrote this novel several years ago, I self published and never had it to sell. I have decided to rewrite it and hope to get it published within a few months for people to be able to buy. I had a few copies and gave them to a few family members and
Better to dream it, than miss out altogeather.
