MOON THE CELESTIAL BODY

 

How much made

the bright lady

people dream and

how many fall in love

making them hover

as majestic birds

 

Their hearts full

of tender feelings

dazzled by her white beams

disclosed in her light

the men’s hearts

as roses in may

 

The lovers’ eyes dampened

tell of their burning passions

their lips whisper promises

to keep preciously engraved

to listen them then

again and again

 

But

once faded the darkness

and dawn slowly rising

to spread the light

over the still sleeping towns  

you can soon realize

the moon nothing else than

a celestial body in the void space

Dark its surface

its mantle a crust

its inner core of solid iron there from billion years

surrounded by flickering maids

unsuspected deceiving men

from anywhere and of all Ages
