XVI. dusk to dawn

182 9 2
                                    

FOR A FLEETING MOMENT
the sky turns pink
the most shy blush I have ever 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 gone is she

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

before I fall into Hell
and be caught by a demon

BEFORE I FLY TOO CLOSE
TO THE BURNING SUN
(⎯ for something that'll never be mine)

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

IS IT TOO LATE FOR ME NOW?
