Picnics and Promises (Under the Moonlit Sky)



 

~ Picnics and Promises (Under the Moonlit Sky) ~

 

Stars provide the candlelight

my heart is the blanket

and the moon -

she is your conscience

 

is she true?

does she waver?

is it possible to betray the moon?

 

lay gently on my heart

let me wrap it around you

the softest promise of warmth

against any chill the night may bring

 

the wind whispers:

I found something I love... and never gave up

 

I offer you pieces of me:

morsels of my fears, my strengths, my scars, my love

are you hungry?

what does the moon say to you?

 

you taste, but you struggle with thirst

you uncork a bottle

and I fill your glass with champagne tears

but the moon won't allow you to drink

 

you pour me a glass of your own

and I swear I saw the moon's shadow

in the reflection of your eyes as you studied my face

 

you rest your check against my blanket

the moon lifts her shadow as you drift to sleep

 

perhaps you are listening to her now.
