Last night when the moon was free I sent a breeze as messenger To brush a kiss across your lips. Did you turn your head, alert Because it ruffled up your hair So like my fingers, light as air? Did you close your eyes to dream And hear the rustle of the leaves? It was my echo, whispering My heart, my soul, belong to you! And always, when the moon hangs low Should you but pause and wish for me You will feel my presence near, Lingering in every shadow Beneath the pale moonglow of night. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BREATH OF NIGHT by RANDALL JARRELL HOODED NIGHT by ROBINSON JEFFERS NIGHT WITHOUT SLEEP by ROBINSON JEFFERS WORKING OUTSIDE AT NIGHT by DENIS JOHNSON POEM TO TAKE BACK THE NIGHT by JUNE JORDAN COOL DARK ODE by DONALD JUSTICE POEM TO BE READ AT 3 A.M by DONALD JUSTICE ROUND ABOUT MIDNIGHT by BOB KAUFMAN MYSTERY by GUANETTA GRANT GORDON |
