In the darkness of the veil cast by the spell of midnight,
I caught a glimpse of you.
As I looked to a sky barren of the comfort of starlight,
I wondered when you would shine through.

Piercing your way through darkness with iridescence,
I found you in the light of moonbeams.
In ease, you painted all you touched with luminescence.
In your touch, hope goes beyond dreams.

In the darkness of time is where I lived to rest in peace of mind,
Your light could only bring unrest.
Unfamiliar burns were left where your light had shined,
Where my heart lies within my chest.

Where your heart rests in the body and its bounds,
Molten light glows, painting skin.
Radiance still shimmers as your heart pounds;
I am left bathed in your light; my sin.

I gaze at the light of the moon in contemplation;
In substance, never to be grasped.
I once found closeness through diffused permeation;
In the cell of my soul, you live clasped.

I wander through moonless nights where spells are cast,
Where I may never find your cold light.
I grow blind to the darkness that does deign to last,
In remembrance of your moonlit night.
