As the sun
surrenders
to the moon,
my spirit
embraces
its gloom.
–
As the day
succumbs
to darkness,
my smile
turns
into blankness.
–
As bright
city lights
flickers,
my tired
weary heart
quivers.
–
As humans
fell
asleep,
my spirit
starts to
weep.
–
As the
the stars’re
shining,
my soul’s
slowly
fading.

Aww. 😦 Beautifully sad poem, Rosema. I love your clever play with words and rhymes. And that’s a beautifully sad song from Sara, too.

Thank you, lovely Maria! This is the poem that was supposed to be published last Friday but I don’t want to make you sad anymore that is why I moved it to Sunday. 🙂 I made this after a tiring draining day, actually. 🙂
You like listening to Sara, too? ❤
I am sending you love as Monday starts! ❤❤❤

Oh really? Me too. This poem is not fictional, because sometimes I get a little bit melancholic as the sun sets.
But I hope this week will be great! Especially now that Monday is a holiday! 😂
Yay! I choose you is I think her sweetest song. ❤
