Missing You

.

Missing you

The moon’s radiance
rouses me,
in the dead of night.

It’s iridescence calls to mind
the love we shared.
So long ago.

I remember the scent of your skin,
And the steady beat
of your heart
as I lay content,
in your arms.

I smile into the darkness
As I feel your essence
by my side once again.
If only
in my dreams.
