PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The moon rises a little late tonight

Unlike the love that's in my heart

Only for you of all women

In this world of changing moonlight.

Music makes me think of you

As the "Harlem Norturne" strikes chords

Of an affection meant just for you.

Let creation envy me

I find peace and solace

In God's blessing to me -- You --

And I care not about jealousy.

How beautiful this night would have been

If you had been here in my arms

I wouldn't have cared to glance at the moon

While marvelling at the beauty in you.

The hours will stretch just as Linda Ronstadt sings

In her moving song "Round Midnight"

And I will start craving and longing

For everything that links me and you.

And then Melody Gardot

Will remind me that "Our love is easy"

After which Norah Jones will come

To take me away to you "on a bus".

And slowly my heartbeats will strain

To be with you and care about nothing

As I ponder on "Maybe I, Maybe You."

And as teardrops fill up my eyes

I will click to a song of lovelorn plea

Which will reveal to you how I feel

If you can do go back to Norah again

And "end these sleepless nights for me"....
