XVI. dusk to dawn

198 10 2
                                    

for a fleeting moment
the sky turns pink
the most shy blush I have yet seen

the world beneath her
is casted in rosey colors

my yearning visualized
in a romantic mirage

I reach for the sunrise
but she slips away between my fingers
she stole my heart and i linger

I beg the Heavens
to let me fall from the sky
and be caught by an angel

I gloss outside to catch a glimpse
of the dawning sun
but I find myself eye to eye
with a crescent moon
