i'm in love with the moonlight
it paints trees and fields with its gossamer glow
it brings the earth some light it almost missed
inspiring nocturnes
and washing over deep dreams
salvaging you,
reminding me of never-should-be's
and hard to swallow truths
washing you over in this breathtaking light

i'm in love with the moonlight
it struck resonance when my boiling heart exploded
and now bears a certain harmony
upon sight
(i'm sorry my heart exploded
in your face)
swallowing up what's hard to swallow--
and promising sterling silver
