Hide and seek,
Take a peek
And watch her steal away

When I took
Another look
You shone your face my way

A furtive glance
A silent dance,
Beneath the desert moon

That first hello,
I didn’t know
We’d say good-bye too soon

And since that night
Of desert light
That took me by surprise,

I long to be
Where I can see
The moon glow in your eyes

But if by chance
Our little dance
Was only for a song,

You ought to know
That soft, sweet glow
Is one I’ll take along

And think of when
I met you, then
Beneath the desert moon

A lovely sight
Bathed in a light
That faded all too soon

Excellent imagery... but I loved the rhyme and meter as well. I am partial to 'classical' structure and very impressed. Most enjoyable read.

Mister nice write. I did a good job capturing a faded love.

Harris~
My goodness ...
I love it when the winds from an ancient time
brings one back to this circle of rhyme~

This has a poignant beauty to it~

Good to see you~
