A starry night sky above, lambent city below
They stood atop, an edifice
Gazing at each other; nothing to forgo
For as long as it takes, at the precipice.
Her eyes, filled with love aglow
Her face, her hair, her lines, worthwhile
Countless words said; eyes of a doe
She could light up the night, with just a smile.
This windy night, sets her tresses astray,
He stops himself from keeping them at bay
Their hearts pounding, like horses pulling a sleigh,
Souls so glee, they could feel it sway.
A thousand stars play cupid around
They get closer and closer,
While the moon showers amour, passion abound,
The night gets younger, never, to get over.
Their hands entwined, feeling the warmth
Watching the moon, lingering by the lake,
Hearts lurching, they sailed forth
A feeling they shared, was wide awake.
The night was staged, for them, to perform
For Gods were watching, keen and agog,
"I think I like you", he reckoned; enticed in her form,
"I like you too", she vouched; their hearts leapt for a jog.
Closer they get, with their eyes half closed,
Breathing together in a rhythm divine,
Knees left weak; senses not composed;
Their lips brush, arms entwine.
The glimmers in the sky, start dancing about,
The wind plays music, swarming around
Moon smiles down upon the lake, gait devout,
A prayer sent out, for them to be bound.
