Moon Bloomed

After noon, bloomed the moon,
Like my grandma' s curved comb;
I listened to lullabies, and stories,
Amidst stars - not alone.

Came a prince with a princess,
Mounting a horse with a sword
And bloomed the moon after noon,
Like my grandma's silver spoon.

I saw the prince with the princess
Again, they came - along the road,
With the moon after noon,
Like my grandma's round moon.

Came the prince and the princess,
With the sword, without the horse;
Oh, where' s the moon after noon?
It had gone... stars felt alone.
