Oh!! This Night...

Summer moon...

Lying on the cold sheets
Gazing at the stars
I would often fall asleep 
Forgetting you
O summer moon 
You still shone
At the window
And spread over
My threshold 
Your sequined smile

Autumnal wind...

Did you take away
My dear friend 
I had carried her back home
On chariots of chrome
She had winked at me
And promised to be mine
Forever 
Where does she hide now?
Beneath the caper of the clouds
Darkening deeper my nights

Oh! That frozen smile

I guess winter has arrived
You have lost your sheen a little 
Your shine sends chill down my spine
Your bleak visage soothe
My fluttering heart no longer
O ice maiden
Where are the nights warmer ?

Aah spring...

You bring back intoxicating dreams
Your breeze sprays fragrances
Of delight...your blooms are 
Ever so bright 
The days are sunny and cheerful 
The nights have that devilish charm

I know you are no longer mine
Yet I crave for your beatific smile
O spring moon 
You have always been my muse
And shall forever remain mine

  4. I like the seasons of the moon. Love the summer moon best, though the winter one shines as bright, just can't lay on the grass to take it in.
