Love Poem: Drifting In the Gloaming

Drifting In the Gloaming

melancholy  thoughts drifted in the gloaming,
 whispered for the night as the waves were foaming
 her words,  as unpredictable as the sea,
 echoed with the pathos of a discordant timpani
 his valiant attempt to bring harmony to his thoughts
 only frosted his thinking and made him more distraught
 it was crystal clear that he'd love her forevermore
  whether here or on a distant shore
 She would come to him in the moonlight's gleaming
 whispering in the night, while he was dreaming
                              --
