Love Poem: Under Starlit Skies

Under Starlit Skies

A stolen kiss under starlit skies
As I stare into her deep brown eyes
My heart beat fluttered and gave a cry
As my breath came out a ragged sigh

Her hair was soft like satin & silk
Her skin as smooth as creamy milk
This beauty caused my will to wilt
Underneath this nights starry quilt

Walking late through deep wet grass
So happy this time had come to pass
Never seen in ball of crystal glass
The joy I felt walking in that grass

No I ponder opportunity missed
What would be now if I did persist?
Would it be different if again we’d kissed?
Or would I be alone in the forgotten mist?

But I’ll always remember that starry night
Those deep brown eyes that set me alight
And I’ll always have a melancholy death 
To read aloud with my very last breath
