Moonlight Rhymes

Twas cool and breezy yesternight, 

Some languid minutes after nine 

Was strolling by my country's side I won't lie, twas such a lively hive... 

The moon was smiling in the sky,  

Gifting the earth it's pretty lights  

With stars like crystals in the sky  

What else could make a perfect night? 

I turned my neck from left to right,  

And stood a while to heave a sigh The pleasant scenes that caught my eyes, 

Just felt they'd make a lovely write... 

Some infants chasing fireflies  

Clapping their hands across the sky  

I caught myself trying to smile  

And fantasised being a child... 

A mother sang a lullaby, 

Cuddling her child between her thighs  

Enchanting lovely sleepy rhymes Into her dizzy infant's eyes... 

Some damsels swing and sway in style 

Swerving their waists from left to right  

Shifting my gaze the other side,  

I caught some lovers tryna hide. 

I swear I wasn't tryna pry 

Twas totally a slip of sight, 

So when their eyes would catch my eyes, 

I feigned a smile and waved them 'Hi'. 

Five children wearing Sackless smiles 

Oblivious I was standing by  

They ran around a burning light 

As a dog scampered away in fright... 

Sitting across the fire side  

Grey hairs who newly lost his sight 

He seems to wear an eonian smile  

Calling the kids for story time... 

This sent some waves across my mind  

And made me nearly want to cry Since it's unmanly for guys to cry,  

I choked the tears beneath a smile... 

I wondered what he's learned from life 

That made him smile inspite his plight, 

Maybe life's a double-edged knife  

To one it's kind, the next unkind? 

The truth seems harder than a lie  & Dark seems safer than the light  

Variety is the spice of life..  

What makes me smile, might make you cry. 

I chose to do some cutting ties and lay aside my alibis 

For what's the true essence of life If you get your cravings all the time.
