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.
