Rain Under The Streetlamp

It's almost seven months since i last completed a piece. And
since the first two stanza below had been in limbo for quite
some time already, I thought i might as well finished it up.
And in case you are wondering, no i don't write about stars
all the time. It's just a coincidence.



rain under the streetlamp

adore this night draped
with a mooonless sky.
for my eyes to wander
whither dreams sojourn tonight.

oh my hands,
they've tried to grasp
the stars alluring but alas,
alike dreams, it eschews
so fleeting to the touch.

hark! do you hear?
the sounds of conniving
as night begins to stir.
how quickly the stars yield
such is the detritus of life.

now let rain adorn this velvet skin
and afford me a touch.
dear it may be and alas
there is rain under the streetlamp.
