LAWLESS

V. Claire de Lune

Moonlight

Two lovers danced,
and I looked down with a soft glow.
Tangled: they were—
in each other's arms.
and cloaked by my stars.

A constellation of romance—
they were two falling stars,
that danced for a chance.
"All will be well." he said
And I heard her cry,
A song— 'twas a broken lullabye.

A broken heart shatters—
in the midst of a moonlight.
a promise didn't matter,
And I saw with eyes in spite.
He cowered; never to be seen tonight.

she touched the fading light-
my rays vanishing with the dawn of fate.
Try as she might; tears in sight.
a love all too late— only misery did they create.

In the midst of a moonlight,
I shone with the hope,
Two lovers danced like doves in flight.
Under the heavens, a tragedy dared kiss the heads.
of two lovers, two lovers dancing—
a dance of suffering.
