Serenade

Bright brown star
surrounded by moons
in sky of spring time
so blue

You look at me across the table,
your eyes are all I see,
and they shine
burning bright in 
the forest of my mind.

Bright brown star
surrounded by moons
in sky of spring time
so blue

My memory turns into fireflies-
they come and glow,
then turn off and 
burn brighter than before,
with every flicker.

Bright brown star
surrounded by moons
in sky of spring time
so blue

It is your eyes that smile,
tell stories, and lull me to sleep,
under eyelids that shield-
palm leaves from winds-
like the years unravelling.

The years have come to this.
The years have come to this.

Bright brown star
surrounded by moons
in sky of spring time
so blue
