The mystery I miss

The mystery I miss

Lying here missing your arms

and your heart beating with mine

trying to turn back the hands of time

and shut off these silent alarms

 

Daylight is coming too soon

to shatter my nighttime revelry

pretending you’re not leaving me

I need the night, I miss the moon

 

It used to smile when you kissed me

It heard my heartbeat racing fast

from a love I knew would last

and not just my lovelorn fantasy

 

Crazy chances we take

for love’s little souvenirs

clinging on for years and years

to ties we never learn to break

 

Velvet night skies give us mystery

where we keep on pretending

searching for our happy ending

hiding from the true reality

 

Splitting into while I still love you

and you love me just the same

we forsook the rules of the game

no more saves left for us two.

I like how youy say Daylight is coming soon....I miss the moon. I like how you set up the imagery and the misery together. How you form longing in your words.

Thank you very much, for the review and the rating!! Topaz2011

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
