Moon Chase

I have waited for this night
To be with you.
For my dismal body
that was burnt by the sun,
Yearned for the touch of your mild glow-
Soft and lights

The birds that soared the skies
Were replaced by the crickets from the woods,
Heightening my anticipation for your coming.
Where we could finally succumb
In stellar pleasure

You rose into the dark horizon,
From afar.
I ran barefooted towards the grasslands,
To welcome you.

But behind you were clouds,
That brought the perennial rain,
Chasing you on heavens battlefield.
There we were, suddenly set appart
By the roaring thunderstorm.

I would spend another night,
soaked in disillusioned hope.
With my vision soaring beyond the mountains
Thinking,
Just how bright you shone
In the other side.
