Cadence of Shadows

Hush, now, my sweet beloved--
rest your head on my shoulder;
the spell of the moon is calling
and this enchanting nightmare is over.

See how the moment is fragile?
Do you feel no trace of remorse?
A dark and pulling emotion within
speaks of your silent force.

Tonight, the facade is ending;
the tears of the angels are falling
and if we listen closely enough--
can you hear the universe calling?

The softly spoken words of lovers
drifting upon the lullaby,
they dance with the stars in heaven
and proclaim the end of this lie.

The moon's graceful glow leads us
as flower petals caress the stream;
let's wander, together, forever
and be one in this illusionary dream.

"A shadow's cadence* of desire.."
