Moonlight

Your heart grants me joy
Your voice, every hope
Your touch, all my strength
Your eyes, my surrender.
But in shadow, I remain
Impassive in your presence
Broken-hearted by distance
Lost.  Wholly lost.
Words, oh cursed am I
Propriety, my enemy
Desire, my ally
Time, my end.
Dreams, my reality
Darkness, a friend
As moonlight falls softly
Upon your fair skin.
