the moon is full

The moon is full

There’s yearning in the sky

It’s in my heart

In my soul

In my body

You’re nowhere near

I can’t whisper in your ear

Truths about your beauty

            Your mind

            Or make any kind

            Of declaration

I can’t take you in my arms

Feel your heart beat strong

Against me

Nervously

Just like mine

I can’t let the energy build

And give it all to you

Restlessness

Sadness

A nameless feeling holds court

Within me

It’s the moon

She’s full

Ready

Longing to make love

The stars can’t reach her

Touch escapes her

All who would love her

Don’t venture near

The moon is full

There’s yearning in the sky

I’d love you this night

If you were here

I remain,

Lesley
