Tears Under The Moon

in the distance 
I see the brightness
of the moon
the light radiates 
through the darkness
overpowering 
the speckled 
glistening stars
the very 
stars 
that I wish upon 

I close my eyes
silently 
speaking 
to you 
a tear 
slowly falls
the saltiness 
coats my lips 
my tongue
darts out 
I taste 
my heartache 
my soul 
clenches 
as thoughts 
replay 

words dance 
every emotion 
surfaces 
shared desires 
blended laughter 
a voice 
which calms 
the depths of 
my soul 
my fingers clench
as I imagine 
they are wrapping 
around your own 

my heart races
I hold tighter 
not wanting 
to let go 
regardless
of the distance 
right now 
at this 
very moment 
you are here 
with me
