In the summer breeze <br />The white curtains <br />Of your innocence billow <br />I lay my head on my pillow <br />And there..just there..over the seas <br />A glimpse of scorching fire <br />And sheer satin dance on the undulating dunes <br />Of the pale moon. Shall I say you were never mine? <br />Or that your words, 'Te Amo', were never meant <br />For me to hear but only for the ears <br />And deceitful lips of austere Time <br />Was I never a prince who steered his stallion <br />By the call of the loon? I remember <br />How you held the stars in the hollow <br />Of your tiny hand, your elfin smile <br />A spear in my heart <br />And every precious teardropp that fell <br />From your shimmering eyes <br />To my soul, a dart; oh Princess, sweet Princess <br />Take me back, for only your arms can make me well...<br /><br />Barry Blander<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-moon-so-pale/
