Long ago,
Beneath the moon
And the clear skies,
We made vows to each other,
To be bound
Until we meet at Eternity’s
Door.
Under Her watchful
I begged you to
Pull me closer,
Kiss my tears
And grant me
My moonlit
Wish.
To love me until the heavens
Are no more
And I am made brand
new.
And so,
I watched time pass me
By.
As hours
Turned to minutes,
And minutes
Turned to seconds,
My heartbeat thrummed with
Anticipation.
Until one night,
Time became
Immovable.
I finally sighed a breath
Of relief,
Because I knew
You were waiting
For me.
Now, I look to
The sky again
Because evening is nigh
And my fantasies
Are finally coming alive.
I welcome
Freedom as the cool
Water drapes
Across my skin.
And I make my way
Deeper and deeper
Into the watery abyss.
Feeling your presence
In my bones,
With each step.
Feeling your shadow
In the river,
With each breath.
Guided by my beloved
Lady Moon
And beneath your
Starlight
I found you,
In our sacred place.
Betwixt the darkest
Waves of the sea,
Between the beautiful beasts
Of the deep
And the sweet songs of the maiden
Sirens.
We make memories
To last until dawn
And ever after
Because now we both
Live in the forever
Night.
