Black Moon

Glimmering, glittering, stars in the sky,

A buzzing quiet, ’twas quite a night.

A sense of calm comes gushing by,

Washing over the moonlit sky.

The skylight shies from a city so bright,

A silent Atlantis roaring in pride

The moon puts on its veil in vain,

Trying to burn away its pain

As the wind blows away the moon’s cover,

Unveiled is a darkness unlike any other.

A shrouded light surrounds the scene,

What once was bright now turns obscene.

The boy who claims to have no cares

Looks back toward the girl that stares.

A tear escapes her lonely eye,

‘Let’s not fall in love,’ said the guy.

For he had a fear so dark and deep,

A wound that doth forever bleed.

But little did he know, she felt it too,

Her scars in hiding, bleeding blue.

They burnt the night away in vain,

Silently praying to the other’s name.

And then hit the wind, a mighty strong boon,

As a fading smile greeted the black moon.

She wondered now, if his mind too,

Drifted toward her, or had he bid her adieu?
