Selene and Venus

Once the afternoon had vanished

and with the fiery sun hidden,

I found myself homebound at night

with my heart and eyes wide open.

With my mind and heart so engaged

suddenly, a soul downtrodden

came into view and held my sight

with hope and warmth cruelly stolen.

Stopping to help, so much we talked

that shine fled by darkness driven.

And on the sky above, how bright

Moon and Love with beams unbroken!
