A Spiel of Night Angel

By Amal S Lal

I am taken back to another night 

Filled with music delight.

In that blood red and blue garb

With your hair down. 

O' Astronomical beauty

You had my mind and eye.

I remember the times 

Trying to steal your gaze.

I remember the brief moment

When our hands intertwined,

Dancing and swaying to the rhythm-

Freezing all logic and time.

Even amidst the roaring swarm

I was lost in you and the hymn.

When the music subdued,

And we said our goodbyes,

I looked at the moon,

And said to your fading silhouette,

"The Moon is indeed beautiful tonight"
