Moonlight Serenade

 My sweet

Come and rest a while.

The evening air chills my skin

I long for your arms around me.

The rain patters from the branches to the fallen leaves 

The dull yellow and orange forming an earthen sea.

My sweet

Come and rest a while.

Sit beside me on this swing

Our hearts entwining as the night sounds sing.

This perfect moment is ours to share

The crickets won't say a thing.

My sweet

Come and rest a while.

Kiss me, my darling,

Allow your heart to join mine.

Hold me, my everything,

Let us never run out of time.
