a lonely man and the moon















the shade of the moonlight:
yellow, no!
golden
precious and captivating
yet unowned,
not the rich
nor the astronauts
can possess.

and yes, it’s free
that magnificent smile
gleaming with kindness
at me, this forlorn soul
up till now just gazing –
better yet staring
amused and bewildered
by the unraveling sight.

Make it a series... You can do lonely man and the star, sun, earth, other planets and celestial bodies. Or a lonely boy, girl, lad, student, the not so lonely boy and girl. :D Hehe
