Full Moon in October

Thought I’ve seen the moon tonight

Mute as a promise
In this darkest of nights

I conceded as it sloshed my brains

And caused my thoughts to train

Thought he asked me from behind the gloom

To be his bride and him my groom

Forgive our crime

Us two of a kind

Mumbling, fumbling in this sliver of time

Thought I’d nudge it, stoke it, break its ice

Teased it, honey

Will you ever be so nice

Be here not ‘cause you’re way past due

But rather to give hope to a me and you

Thought it tilted its head just slightly

Perhaps because it was just a tad lonely

It said don’t give in

To the sadness, this madness

Forgive me despite my belatedness

Thought I’ve seen the moon arrive

And now I know

Everything’s gonna be alright

Just another night a bit longer still

But next day’s coming as it leaves for the hills
