Last night, afterdark
We followed the trail of the fire-fly
A virgin journey into the midnight
The rain, bleeding
From the teeth marks of the moon
Cascading through the shimmering twilight
Her shadow, dancing
Tip-toed down to their river
But my friend never left my side
The water, warm
Caressed our bare feet under the blanket of stars
Just us, the moon and our fire-fly guides
Their embers, burning
Divide this eternal memory
From the fractured, fragile night
My mind, wandering
Reminisces of that hour replay
A silhouetted encore of delights
