My lover is the Moon
Upon the clouds I sail
But dawn always comes too soon

I long to be masked in black
For it is the night that I love
Hapiness is what I lack
And as I gaze upon the sky above

I sing to my lover
For I wish to be ever in his glow
And as this dream gets darker
Soon I'll have to return below

To reality's cold hard grasp
Where I dream of the night sky
But for now the darkness I enclasp
As I strectch my wings to fly

I long to reach my love but there's only so far I can go
So I sit upon the clouds
Alone in my sorrow
And as the Moolight enshrouds

I blow the Moon a kiss
And begin to slowly fade
For I belong in naught but darkness
And the day I must evade

I pull down my veil
As the night turns to Day's ember
For I am the Nightingale
And the Moon is my lover

Nightingale

I am the Nightingale
My lover is the Moon
Upon the clouds I sail
But dawn always comes too soon

I long to be masked in black
For it is the night that I love
Hapiness is what I lack
And as I gaze upon the sky above

I sing to my lover
For I wish to be ever in his glow
And as this dream gets darker
Soon I'll have to return below

To reality's cold hard grasp
Where I dream of the night sky
But for now the darkness I enclasp
As I strectch my wings to fly

I long to reach my love but there's only so far I can go
So I sit upon the clouds
Alone in my sorrow
And as the Moolight enshrouds

I blow the Moon a kiss
And begin to slowly fade
For I belong in naught but darkness
And the day I must evade

I pull down my veil
As the night turns to Day's ember
For I am the Nightingale
And the Moon is my lover

I guess we share the same love *wink* hee hee

This is a beautiful write as always, took me a way.

My moon has been covered with rainclouds of late but I know it is there.

Hope all is well with you.

Hugs

Lovely imagery of the darkness.

A very sorrowful write, I hope your days can get brighter soon.

Take care,
Dom
