Someone Stole The Moon Poem by Valerie Dohren

Someone Stole The Moon

Rating: 5.0


Someone stole the moon last night
Left the land bereft of light
Sorrow filled the sequinned sky
And all the stars began to cry

There above as glist'ning tears
(Weeping, weeping, no-one hears)
Flutt'ring down upon the world
Like soft confetti deftly hurled

Oh to see her face again
Then to watch her wax and wane
Lost to sight her Imbrian sea
So sweetly named Tranquility

Gone the night-time's wondrous glow
Tides no longer ebb and flow
Months shall cease and days decline
As now the moon no more will shine

Where is she, Oh where is she
She whose light shone down on me
Please return her to her place
Suspended in the frame of space

Set above and counting time
O'er the mountain tops to climb
Minute-hand upon the clock

- Tick tock, tick tock - tick tock, tick tock -

Vividly and hauntingly beautiful. I am in love with the moon, i don't know what we would do without her glow. Never stop writing!

Moon disappearing has disastrous effects. No tides. No nights of moonlit love. Beautiful poem.
