Moonlight Kissed

I see shadow and light

Stroking the mist

And I hear voices take flight

And send out our wish

Of peaceful dreams on a night

Moonlight kissed

Tendrils of smoke lash the street

And shamelessly court

Disguised honey sweet

To cater all sorts

And hushed tones all agree

And the world distorts

Wishing on a speck of dust

In this crazy ocean of fate

An echo of a memory

And maybe just a little too late

Fingers of blue on the snow

Reaching to touch

The warm light still aglow

Across the porch

We watch the scene die untold

Outside our window

For my words are the salt of lust

On that ivory skin

Difficult to hear at all

Through the everyday din

What is this if not some witchcraft?

Wrapped up widdershins

To lead us all astray

Hook in mouth

On through some webs of lies

Truth's a distant star

In our eyes

Moonlight kissed

New day comes again

And it laughs in your face

Whispering secrets of pain

By all its names

What flame could burn out the stain

Of a life misplaced?

But summer's scent still lingers

In your hair

Despite the ache

There's magic everywhere

Out the window run rebellion

Rapt with all you find

For seeking something new

Play in the ponds like summer's wind

Dance with the trees melding with mist

Beyond their flower field like

You're moonlight kissed
