When I was young I wondered
why stars would twinkle so
while gazing through my window
a most fantastic show
Time came when I no longer
looked up or watched the sky
grown women have their duties
no time to question why
Yet in my deepest bosom
I wondered if some night
an impish little moonbeam
would touch me in its flight
You never gave me warning
you never said a word
it only took an instant
my world became absurd
Though seeming like a lifetime
the time with you was short
obsession overheated
its flame quick to abort
They speak of two ships passing
when night and sea shine blue
our love affair resembled
two comets crashing through
The aftermath is painful
it's hard to settle down
to life of ordered balance
when embers singe my gown
The road ahead looks scary
no signs to show the way
but as my gaze turns upward
the moon and stars still play.

Somehow you seem to turn heartbreak on its ear. I like that and I sure like this. I haven't done as well. Read mine - Memory is a Cheating Thing - Adeline
