Intimacy Of Dark

To be kissed by moonlight
And caressed by stars,
Draped in darkened blue,

And loved under a blackened sky.
Let the sun forget about me;
It never heard me cry.

Because there's something special about moonlight,
Like it was made just for me,
Because no matter how bad things are,
I have the moon as company.

Yes, I have felt the same way for a while now! I only believe the moon and its company! Darkness has been my best friend since it is the only one who heard me cry, laugh and has been the only one who heard my sorrows. It is the only one who knew how wet my pillows were every night.

Lately, I have been awake the darkest of nights with only the moon as my company. I don't know when and how I fell in love with this darkness and the beautiful night sky. I think this itself is beauty. So, thank you for sharing this poem.
