the moon smiles       

 

As I write all

through the night

the moon smiles

for many a miles.

 

The stars twinkle

over humanity that sleeps,

like Rip Van Winkle

for years and years.

Lovers, the idiots gaze

up at the moon,

little do they know in future

it will be once in a blue moon.

Their bodies entwined

they promise a permanence

that shall never be found hence

their lips shall lie through the mind.

Left behind shall be traces

of tears, burdened thoughts

children with broken hearts,

a dining table that nobody graces.

As I write all

through the night

the moon smiles

for miles and miles.
