Far Beyond This Night Poem by Daleen Enslinstrydom

When the red bloody moon
lights up the sky
and breaks through the clouds
like the bud of a rose
and it touches my heart
while my heart does bleed for you
and I miss you
while the heat of the summer days
keeps lingering and keeps me awake
and my thoughts go out to you
and it is as if I am seeking,
piercing my eyes through the darkness
for you face
while the red moon is teasing me,
does wink at me
and is calling my heart to silence
while I do know that you
are also missing me
but I do miss you much more
than any words that I can express,
and my longing goes far beyond this night.
