VersErotica
Love Poems by H. Paul Shuch, Ph.D.
copyright � 1993

At Midnight In The Moonlight

At midnight
In the moonlight
The sand is flat
The beach featureless
Save for the roiling
Of the waves
And the surging
Of the surf
And the torment
Of my soul.

At midnight
In the moonlight
We would embrace
With great fulfillment
Save for the longing
In your heart
For a fire
You desired
Which I never
Could provide.

At midnight
In the moonlight
You're alone now
With expectations
Of a new passion
Which you know
Will diminish
With the dawn
As the shimmer
Of the stars.

At midnight
In the moonlight
The sky is clear
As is my knowledge
Of the emptiness
We both face
In the loss
Of a love
Which almost was
Eternal.
