Then I saw her.

It was one of those nights, the full moon shining a magical glow,

a soft breeze barely moving the nets at my window,

I enjoyed stargazing but the moonlight that night was overpowering,

I’m not sure if it was the inbuilt voyeur in me or what,

but as the moon was the only thing to see that night,

I gave the surrounding buildings a quick sweep with my scope.

Then I saw her, she was sitting precariously on the outside edge of her apartment,

the warm summer breeze playing with her long dark hair,

she was hypnotized by the moonlight, humming to whatever she was listening to on her ipod.

The lights of the city flickered below her; I wondered what was going through her mind at that precise moment, unaware I was watching her.

    The mention of the moon always have its dramatic effect. Another 4 part story, I hope? Good write again.

    Your poetry is likened to three week old milk, sour and chunky, yuck.

    I like this poem a lot! It paints such a beautiful picture of a moonlit night. I especially like the part where you weren’t aware you were watching her. It really made me understand how wrapped up you were in thinking about her.

    I think she did see you but pretended not to see….
    Red, black and blue does suit you well….
