.. Under the Moonlit Sky

They met under a moonlit sky

As the world lay fast a sleep

With just  a few stars out 

And the moon a witness to their meet

The world enveloped in darkness

With just the moon lighting up the night

They sat there on the bench

Side by side, hand in hand

Head on shoulder, arms around shoulder

With each other for company 

Listening to the rhythm of their heartbeat

As it beat in unison

As the world snored away

Lulled to sleep 

By the sound of the crickets chirp

And under that moonlit sky

Their love blossomed 

And in the dark, away from the prying eyes

The found each other

They needed no one or anything

Other than each other 

And the light of the moon

To bear witness to their love

They sat there, staring at the moon

Admiring how beautiful it looked 

Along with its blemishes 

A beautiful bindi adorning the head of the sky

Like the moon they knew they were perfectly imperfect 

Two beautiful souls drawn to each other

Like the moon affecting the tide

They felt drawn to each other

Touching each other’s lives

Affecting each other’s lives

And under the moonlit sky

Far from the prying eyes, they kissed 

With all the passion burning within them 

Sealing the love they felt for each other

With just the moon as their witness

They needed no one at all

The moon looked on

And she smiled seeing them

Witnessing their love

Not once wanting to move her eyes from them

Not because she was a voyeur 

But she wanted to be light in their life

She smiled to see their love blossomed into something beautiful 

So she shone brightly on them 

As they fell in love under the moonlight
