Moonlit Night

The full moon brightened the cloudless sky that night when we first met, you and I. The stars brightly glittered and glimmered in the velvety sky, moonlight shimmered. I crossed the empty field alone.
I entered the tranquil peaceful wood, I headed towards that especially good place that I favored, to sit and ponder, and allow my mind to simply wander, to meditate under the moon.
I had no intention of seeing a soul; Never before had that happened so… The woods had always been solely mine before that fateful night did find me so unprepared to see you there!
That anyone would venture so deep into these woods on hilltop so steep had never before occurred to me ~~ No other had ever done so, you see… Few knew of that glade so rare.
I paused, quite shocked, to stop and consider: Should I go on back? I wondered whether you had, or you had not, yet noticed me. I wondered if it would not better be For me to retreat silently.
Ought I go back to sit, instead, beneath the trees, at the woods' edge? While I stood there, in thought, hesitating, You turned towards me, and saw me waiting. You stood, waiting, quietly.
And I… I did nothing but wait to see what you would do. Would you approach me? You finally spoke, and what you said called deep to my heart, rang in my head. You touched my soul at its core.
You sang me a song of moments past, of times when I wondered if, at long last, I might ever, ever find true love ~~ the kind of love I'd always read of… Or did that exist no more?
If I ever, ever found such a man, a man who loved only the woman I am, who filled the emptiness deep within and desired me to belong to him… Might I merely run in fear?
Could I let any man get so deep inside, to my soul, my heart, my mind, and not hide? Was I able to do that, would I find? Or would I only close to him my mind? And never ever let him near?
And if I did let a lover so close, would he provide what I needed the most? And would I satisfy all his own host of needs and desires and love and hopes? And fill up his emptiness too?
What dreams might have he that I with him could share? Or might it not be that we shared the same cares already, if we were each other's true love? Our hearts might already share dreams enough! Would not this prove our love true?

You still spoke to me wordless poetry, telling me how beautiful things could be, softly whispering sweet comforting things in my head, your sweet song in my mind rings. Still no word aloud was spoken.
Thrilling warmth and joy and love swirled about, Caressing me gently as they whirled, without any tangible senses of mine regist'ring them… yet they did combine to be for me a sure token.
Your song spoke of beauty so rare and fine, assuring me that it all could be mine, if only I'd come to you, now, and take whatever I needed. You'd always make certain I'd always have my fill.
You insisted that you knew that I would be able to reciprocate happily, and joyfully fill all of your own need All that I needed to do was believe! This was fate, you insisted still!
My feet then did fly, of their own accord, they flew to your side… I ran… and what's more… I sank deep into your arms' full embrace. You held me so tightly, with no trace of ever wishing to let me go.
You finally spoke ~~ in a soft, gentle tone, telling me, quietly, with a small moan, you'd waited so long for me to arrive, you'd waited for me for most of your life. Indeed you said that this was so.
Although it was often I did here come at this same time, most months, at the full moon, never before had we ever met, and still we don't know how it was set, for us to find each other that night.
Though, each had longed with all of our might, for the other half of our soul's delight… It had never before happened just like it happened then, one that special night. Our hearts became one, did unite.
We finally had what we'd longed for so much: The joy of the other one's love, and soft touch. The fire of our passion, for warmth forever. The sweetness of our love to always savor. Our hearts united as one that night. Our hearts became one, did unite.
