Away From the Streetlights

Walking down this lonely road
Tonight
Miles away
From the nearest
Streetlight
I look to the undiminished
Stars
Shining in the deep blue
Of a post dusk light.
But instead of the stars,
I see fragments of you.
The gleam of your eyes
Pulls my gaze slowly upward,
    While the moon,
        as pale as your skin is fair,
    Drifts without a care
    In its dance across the sky.
    All this I saw
    Away from the streetlights.
