I'm alone with the moon tonight!
Truly a divine heavenly body!
A shape-shifting marvel to behold.
As a waxing crescent, dazzlingly radiant
And at her happiest;
So inviting, her beaming smile.
She steals the twilight sky
Generously gemmed with bright stars.
I came out to gaze at the stars
Instead, I fell under the moon's spell
Like a lone wolf seduced.
Oh, how she owns the night!
Her silver globe floats like hope
Overhead, shining ever so brightly.
A sad lonely moon now smiling;
Grateful for my company.
The charcoal sky is littered
With millions of stars,
But she shines the brightest.
Her captivating beauty
Ensorcelling me.
So shy, she never shows humanity
The other side of her face. Oftentimes,
Hiding behind a dark bank of clouds;
Sinking herself towards the horizon,
Yet her charm remains undiminished.
A most sublime rendezvous! She tugs at
My sleeve to stay with her the whole night,
Lest her smile turns to a frown.
Goodnight, beauteous moon.
I won't be a stranger, poor lonely thing.
I'm alone with the moon tonight!
