The skies are little darker tonight,
In fact this has been true for two nights,
One of its stars is here on the earth,
Heavenly stars know a dearth,
I look to the east,
Before I know my eyes feast,
In unspeakable delight,
As I am helplessly drawn to The light,
Dazzling the eastern lawn of the beautiful garden,
You are so beautiful,
If the lilies and the roses,
And all the prettiest flowers in the world,
Could feel jealousy and envy,
They will instantly wilt on their stalks,
From the poison of a surfeit of the two,
As an envious jealousy becomes their suicidal pill,
Yonder years,
It was a brief encounter,
Just a few years on the counter,
Just when you were about to fully bloom,
You left leaving an unshakable spell of earthly gloom,
Back to the heavens,
Back to the heavens.
