Silvery Moon

Midsummer's night, revelers caught in a haze
 The air hangs thick with their perfume
 You're enchantingly eloquent in every phrase
 As we dance to a familiar tune
 Black and white memories swept me away
 And the eyes of someone I knew
 Made me succumb to familiar pains
 'Neath the light of a silvery moon
 Stockholm or Paris, London or Venice
 Where did we last rendezvous?
 Centuries passed since the last time you swore
 That you would see me soon
 Toe to toe, ancient soul pierced by your gaze
 Graceful hair kissed by pale blooms
 I'm a fool, I'm moondrunk, and I'm tasting stars
 'Neath the light of a silvery moon
 Drawn by words of late romantics
 Strange, familiar elegance
 If I am dreaming, let me sleep through the night
 Forget the broken promises
 Embrace the warm and tenebrous
 The world only fades for the length of a sigh
 Speaking in couplets and drinking our wine
 The glow of the dawn comes too soon
 Just two poets lost in time
 'Neath the light of a silvery moon
