The Moon Rise

Love came to me like sunshine

So bright, cheerful, and invigorating

I didn’t just open the window

All the doors of my heart were thrown open

It moved freely lighting up every corner

The beautiful luminous mornings

Long intimate afternoons

I thought it would never end.

The spring had come to me

Each breath that I drew in filled me up

With the soft breeze of love

Hold my arms and we will fly over the clouds

That sweet unspoken offering of love

I had put all my faith in that

Why one must reject it I couldn’t understand.

It’s like we opened the bottle to fill our glasses

But couldn’t take a sip

I wish I could understand the hesitation

Does a bottle opener knows the pain of humiliated glass

Full to its rims untouched and unsipped

Or does a glass knows the bottle opener’s heart

Filling the cup only to push it aside

In any case this is how we are

Drifting apart in confusion with each passing moment

The sun is setting upon us

The black night is spreading beyond ash colored evening

The stars come out only to commiserate upon us

It is time to close the doors

Shut the windows tight

The darkness is my silent companion

The sunshine burns my heart now

To my surprise I again see you under my window

I admire your perseverance

Today you asked again for a chance

The love serenade sounds like shattered crystal falling around

My heart screams upon me to open the door for you

But I just lean against it

The feel of hard cold wood

Seeps in my veins

An icy patch upon the burning love

Standing in the darkness

I just wait for the moon to rise.
