I loved you, secretly
like hidden moon loves sun
Beguiled I watched you, waning
waxing when you'd come
Poppies flower under moonlight
nod and whisper in twilight breeze
I lie below them looking up
at blackest sky and starlit trees
Into the void of ocean night
I cast my calling soul
Far as stars we are apart
flying as we fall
Night crickets hold their breath
mute to poppies' silent song
I lie where I once loved you
hollow as the night is long
