Once in a Blue Moon

She kissed him under a blue moon once

Long ago... a commemorative kiss... a first kiss,

Lingering, and silencing the whole world.



Occasioned by a mutual glance

Chanced when banality after banality

Faded in the night...

By the light of this once in a blue moon.

Their touch became a blue heaven

Of what matters between two hearts.



What became of their first kiss,

When their lips pressed until they were blue?



Hope carries her again to the place

Once again cast in familiar light...

Grace glimmering from a sanctuary,

Hidden in the plane of Longing's domain,

Seemed to show the way to him again

Through the pale shadows of memory.



Her joyful arms reached out for him.

And now the blue it seemed,

Could reflect only her mood.
