Moonlit Lullaby

Your pulse, my breath

For my heart you are meant.

Share beat instead,

For words we haven't said.

Then breath again,

So I'll never forget.

Upon, I sit

My eager eyes,

To seek your silver lights.

My eyes are met,

By cloudy nights,

Behind which you hide.

Subtle deject

Then interwind

Inside this heart of mine.

Oh, Moon, you let

The starry sky

Between us; you and I?!

But then I let,

Myself abide

In fire that won't subside...

Then I regret

My foolish fight

'Cause, Moon, you're my delight.

And so I bend,

To your design,

With sorrow by my side.

I swallow dread

That I must hide.

For, you, I can't resign.

Oh, Moon, my breath,

I wrong my right

And wish not for your flight.

I love this poem, the imagery, the flow. I love when people write about the firmament. This poem conveyed some excellent (stellar) imagery my friend.
Keep up the great work, Max

What a picture you create here, pained beauty. Again, lovely imagery. The last stanza stood out to me in particular
