Moonlight forces itself through
A barrier of the drapes
As they flutter in the wind
Casting a silvery glow
On your bare skin.
Je respire l`odeur de ton corps
As I open the curtain
For the moonlight to bathe you
Languishing in its magical spell
In its aura it envelopes you
Beads of your perspiration
Glistening like diamonds
I bend down to suck a bead
To think...
What did I do to deserve you?
You look so calm and peaceful
As sigh escapes me
Je serai i poete' et toi poesie
Let this poetry flow
I do not want this magic to end
A lone tear escapes
From the depths of my heart
As I stifle a sob
Qu`est-ce que je ferais sanstoi?
I fee my heart
To be heavy now
While it was flying
With you a moment ago
All good things come to an end
Someday.....
Till then, I will cherish
And, I draw the curtain close.
