Misty Nights

An enigmatic love poem by Sarala, exclusively for Different Truths.

Misty nights
Lovely nights
But alone I walk
With no one to talk
Or hold my hands
Nor whisper of love
Into my ears
Misty nights
Cool cool nights
Breezy nights
Willows swaying to n fro
Misty nights
Foggy nights
Faces hidden in the mist
Misty nights
Moonless and starless nights
Lovely nights
Misty nights
Romantic nights
Be with me tonight
Just sing some
Melodies of the past
Make my heart
Come alive
In this misty night
A night to remember
A night to sing n dance
A night to promise
Our love eternal!
