A Sullen Moon (Free verse) by Jimbo

A Sullen Moon
~
Sitting here gazing skyward
Staring towards the heavens
I see no moon this night
I know itâs there but out of sight
It hasnât fallen like I have
It lingers someplace the same as me
Biding its time waiting for a newer day
Like myself awaiting another way
~
Hidden there behind the covers of clouds
Much the way I must hide what I feel
The silence of the moon suspended above
Brings such feelings of want and love
How true it is when I am sad
To have a friend like you
The touch of your hands . . .the look in your eyes
When I hold you in my arms I cannot help but to cry
~
On the night of the moon
We kissed again with tears
Thinking of happiness and nothing more
Two of us and the moon we adore
Morose at times when Iâm near you
Knowing how well you know
Kissing and touching and holding you near
Wanting to forever to hold you dear
~
Outstretched arms the curves of your body
That everlasting smile
And yes the eyes so very much your eyes
Speaking to me softly of love in your guise
Wanting to become you for brief moments
To feel all that you feel and want all that you need
You are the rose upon my bloom yes my Rose
And gently Iâd remove your petals like cloths
~
Lowering each branch so I can choose
As the moon passes over the horizon
Surly and irritable because it cannot be so
I will hold you ever so tightly and never let go
So much in need of the quietness of your love
From head to toe I love you so
Sorry at times youâve crossed the threshold of grief
How much can this heart bear without being a thief
~
Iâll serve you in love to make life worthwhile
And love you forever if forever it takes
Hold you so close the beat of two hearts becoming one
The sullen moon will shine and smile as the sun
Singing out My Rhapsody for you
As you sing in your colorata like pink pirouette
With lips as sweet as babies breath
A sullen moon Iâll hold your head and have you rest
~
