A Moonlit Walk in October

Imagine a chilly night in October;

                The air is crisp and cool.

                The sky is clear

                                and the moon is full.

The streets glisten ever so slightly

                With the water of a day- long downpour.

As We walk down the path, We can see the distant lamps

                flickering like candlelight.

The breeze is filled with the sweetest sounds in existence:

                tranquil silence,

                crunching leaves,

                and the murmur of your voice.

Silhouettes of trees come and go

                as We waltz down Our moonlit path.

                It's moments like this that I'd wish would last
                                 forever.

My nose is cold to the touch,

                but my heart is on fire,

                burning with the flames of desire.

You startle me as you grab my hand and look into my eyes.

                And then I smile to myself,

for it is at this moment when I finally realize

                Our feelings are mutual.

This simple act,

                Our moonlit walk,

                                defines everything beautiful in life.

And so We wander aimlessly through the darkness,

                Our silence drawing us closer together.

Minutes turn to hours

                when We begin to lose sight of reality.

And although We don't know where We are in this fantastic void,

                I find solace in knowing that I'm lost in it with you.
