Bittersweet

Floating on moonlight
Drifting out of what is real and what could be
Caught up in all the wonder and glory of this tremulous set of emotions
Free yet caught, loose and constructed
There we danced, void of all criticisms and expectations
The worry melting off our minds and physical limitations burning from our bodies
We swayed amongst the stars in denial of the lives ahead and behind
Only caught up with what was within, and in one another.
The rapid wind sent me up, and caressed my soul in such a way I could never bruise
Carried my body up and away so that it would remain untainted
Then it brought you down in a way that caused thoughts to flutter
And your mind to muster up the butterflies that could never be found before
While I'm being tossed by the rain and caught by the wind,
You lie there and watch this magic, the exhilaration upon my face, the joy in my heart
You turn in circles and let the weather take you away, close to me
So that you can radiate in my waves of completeness and lack of composure.
There we danced, lost in the music of the night and lights of the sky
Embraced in a never ending waltz of insecurity
Secure in each others' arms
Then the moon began to frown and all of our unforgettable emotions began to drown
We were being torn away from one another, the wind and night and stars wanting so desperately to keep us apart
With what strength was left from the glorious dancing
With whatever we could muster up
After having been worn down from being weightless and carefree
The realities of our love are brought to focus
Pressures the size of earthquakes,
Worries the width of hundred year old oaks
Although all of these passions are against our own
The winds and the moon
The brightly lit stars and old, wise oaks
Though the earthquakes are breaking us down and the enormous power pushing us apart
We find our other halves, on uneven foot and stumbling step
And we embrace one another, shattered, but complete within each others' arm
Dancing amongst the rocks and grass that cover the ground
Heavy and troubled, but far to afraid to be apart
Far to afraid of the possibility of unhappiness without the other
There we continued to dance
The moon smiled down at us and the stars shown down light.
Patterns of our weather-torn love inflicted amongst the night
Floating on moonlight
Drifting out of what is real and what could be
Caught up in all the wonder and glory of this tremulous set of emotion
