Night Secrets

   

 

No more my aching heart

You sleep within my breast

I awake in the night

Awaiting your caress

My aching, barren arms in vain

So many times I've wept

At night upon my pillow

While in my bed I slept

Night secrets in the darkness

Murky shadows share my room

Rain softly whispers through the wind and trees

Carrying my secrets to the man in the moon 

     Those secrets ...

I keep close within my heart

They whisper in the shades of dark

Echoing through the evening night

No one else may listen

There's no one else in sight

Those things I cannot share

 My secrets whisper in the dark of eve'

Like a breeze fluttering through the air

        Until then...

       I'll wait my love

For your soft and gentle touch

While stars softly glow through reflections in my room

Lying quietly in my bed

Sharing secrets with the shadows of night

Whispers flowing in the breeze,

Sending them quietly to the moon

         Meanwhile I'll wait...

Until you come once more

When I can softly breathe in your ear

Those secrets that I carry

Sharing with the one I love so dear

           Until then I'll wait...

My heart belongs to only you

That ache for the one you love when they are so far away can be very intense. A beautiful poem.
