Moonlight cascades around the stars.
Mysteriously glistening in darkness,
Sometimes appearing as red as mars,
Never being accused of adverseness,
Her aggressiveness shines, in fullness.

Tears that flow, so full down your pale skin,
As your gazing, at a star bright existence,
Poetic beauty that you expose in resistance,
To the darkness, that has no solemn sin.
Pale skin, gentle girl or are you a jinn.
You my dream, drive me to total abstinence.
With auburn hair, you show me, my subsistence,
My poetic heart stirs me, should I win.
Your love whether fantasy or real, my legacy.
Seeing you as you appear is my security.
My spirit captured, by your tenderness.
If poetic dream you be, then it is a fallacy.
Though sadness you omit is my impurity.
Your stillness, explains my lack of adverseness.
