The Night Of Pain

 

The Night Of Pain

 

the moon bounced off the skyline

into my lonely bedroom

one or two steps backward 

 

the dark walls of my agony

remained silent as ever

like the mute spectators

 

the moon was spreading

the wings of her dreams

into and beyond my eyelids

 

between the dreams

a slender man lifted

the lovely shadows of his hopes

not for me although

 

but how he walked into the

moon’s prelude-

only I could foresee……

 

and then he stepped into the thin air,

before disappearing completely,

into the night, out of sight

 

i felt alone into the depth of night

i did not dare to breathe

or move…

 

only listening to those songs

of the melancholy dreams of the moon

 

the night leaned back

toward its own darkness,

and i leaned toward mine…….
