As I slid my face below the curtains
Placing the timid head to be bestowed upon your light I realized… I’m awake I’m alive and I’m conscious
I think I feel and I remember your presence I admire I dream I wish to crawl and sneak
Seldom I find myself dwelled into deep thoughts
As I see you dive into a slumber…
Searching for the reasons to smile washed into the splendor of numbness
Where it echoes and where it’s you, me and the moon rising through foreign eyes
Kind and unkind… Loving and unloving Detached and absorbed
Absolutely perfect like your emotions
I, me and the lonely sky
No stars to twinkle… No dawn no dusk… Just the twilight
Cold breeze… Empty nights, a long walk Listening to Moonrise
Our song and you, my beauty my creation
Moonrise a burden of unrequited dreams
Moonrise a goodbye you made me feel
As I slide my face below the curtains
Placing the timid head to be bestowed upon your light
Have I seen enough suffering in a man’s eye?
Do tell my new moon sky
