The Moon stars the night cloud as he plays ....


Clouds whisper to the moon
as he passes her tanned face
curtains her with white smoke
to rave themselves in a secret place
I, breathe in silence
peeping over the window sill
watching them play
I stay

He moves swiftly unveiling her face
enriching her looks with sparkling stars
As she dazzled in her new diamond lace
he saw her shying away from his hold
This love and play they had
would make any poet express their joy
for finding an artistic display
lay gracefully at bay

I accompanied their show
with my canvas and brush
painting the moonlit beau
Seeing me stare at them
they send their sigh as breeze
soothing me to sleep with ease

As the moonlit night sublimes to dawn
I awoke with a yawn
as dews brushed my skin
eager to look the night princess
engraved in a paper by pen
through my poetic fingers

She has revived from my words
"Shining Again"
