moonstruck

this night 

the light is a milky, silvery blue 

cascading down from the sky

in rays that look like liquid silk

dripping off tree branches 

and coating the world in a cool, heavenly glow 

 

it feels so good to walk through this night

in the biting cold

wearing pajamas 

and a heavy coat and boots 

 

even though it's a school night

where tomorrow's dawn brings you back to reality

the night is young

 

and being lovestruck always feels like paradise 

before the sun rises 

and takes your love away.

    love cannot be created or destroyed.

     

    like energy 

    it shape shifts

    following those filled with passion

    and hope

     

    but appearing to leave 

    at the slightest touch of pain

    And stares at the wall across from her 

    A sense of fear overtakes her

    Beginning in the pit of her stomach

    And spreading to each limb

    Coating her in feeling

    you are every eyebrow raise

    every smile

    frown 

    and concealed smirk 

    you can't help but show 

    on your canvas of a face

     

    when observing you
