Sonnet 91 - Shadows

The same full moon shone for both of us, cast
shadows against the darkness tonight. We
both looked on her and wondered, as clouds passed
across her face, how our lives could possibly

be more cruel and complicated. How could
two souls born for epic find themselves bound
to daily obligations when they should
be free to dance together? When I found

you, I was certain I’d learned the answer
to every sorrow, that I would not feel
loneliness again. How will I ever
find my faith now that wounded hearts will heal?

I know only that I love you, that this
day should have ended with you, with your kiss.
