300 Nights

300 NIGHTS 300 nights 300 nights later, she Departed ? Deserted ? Gave up ? The first night We made love She had whispered “ It won’t be long now” Our tears mingled in the Moonlight. “ Till death do us part” I vowed We held on Her thread wore thin Mine , I intertwined Our strength mingled in the Moonlight. The force was overpowering Enveloping her Closing her in Pushing her down We held on While the nights flew past. Eternal was that night….. The dull ache of helplessness Rested on our souls That night Our love mingled in the Moonlight. We held each other In the Moonlight She slipped I held on She lurched I tightened my hold Our eyes locked In the evanescent Moonlight. Till she dipped And the darkness of dawn Wrapped its arms around us. Later Her soul rose with the sun.
