Faded Moon


The same pearl moon that
washed us with mellow tones,
smiles tonite.
We held the stars in our grasp
for those breathless, stolen moments
of flaming passion.

The night sky stayed a softer shade
since our reckless embrace, but
I would be the falling star
that imploded and hurled itself downward.
You can't be my forever love.
It is written from above
that our time be brief.
The same wind that danced us
on the frosty treetops,
whisked the bliss from our sails.
The notes of our moon-sung song
have found their way to another
musician's sheet music.
Our moon will hang irridescent
for eternity...
