Seek The Moonlight

Seek the moonlight

Holding hands with the twilight

Trembling softly from a patient touch 

The churning of milk and lilacs 

Of chocolate and grace

An aching desire lingering

Leaving echoes between their ears

Balancing on the edge of slumber 

Fragile moments cracking 

Crowded too close together

Words too harsh to utter

As they drift away

Hand in hand

Warmed by memory
