Love Poem: Night Fall

Night Fall

When the night fell
Billions were injured
A million lonely hearts 
Crushed under debris of stars
A thousand loveless lovers 
Damaged by Saturn and Mars
Casualty’s wondered 
Scared and forlorn in dark
Cry’s muffled only by a blanket 
Of sky
Hearts were breaking 
Old wounds reopened form the impact 
Though not all were injured and distressed
Couples got together 
For the occasion
Exited and undressed
Feasting on the fireworks
Floating on the clouds
Bathing by the light 
Of the silvery moon
Until the day broke
And all to soon 
The sun rose
Given the new light on the situation
The dying recovered 
Their beds
Thankful night had passed
Patched up the wounds 
And silently dreaded 
Time moving to fast 
Because to the lonely and alone 
Every night 
Is like the sky falling in 
Stars are great company only if you have someone 
To catch them with
And the moon just another reminder 
That night has come 
And again out-stretched on my bed 
There is far to much room for one.
