I watch the full moon shine
Illuminating this summer night
I gaze upon its splendor
Like a prince enthroned
In the heavens above
Or should I say imprisoned
In his majesty’s high position
A shimmer of hope at first maybe
A journey would he embark
To be in leveled grounds with me
A journey that was thwarted…
All else ended…
All but a truth of lies…
The warm night suffocates me
I am strangled in this pain
Broken pieces of shattered dreams
Traces of happiness in a forgotten past
Lost hopes in empty promises
A face streaked with tears
Sadness overwhelming…
When will this misery end?
the question lingers in my mind..
As lay in this dark abyss
I dream of a boy…
Who lives in the moon
Alas, who am I?
I am but a speck of dust
In his vast universe…
