By Starlight


If I were to kiss you
Under the night sky
Would you kiss me back
Or offer no reply
If I put my hand to your face
And gently touched you cheek
Would you tilt your head to it
Or back away shy and meek
If I stepped a little closer
So our bodies touched
Or step back, hands clutched
If the stars began to fall
While we were embraced in kiss
Would you run for shelter
Or ignore it for the bliss.
