After The Fifteenth Step…

Watching the full moon

Coming out of the monsoon cloud

-In the middle of the lonely night

 

After the downpour

The sky seems to be smiling

Like her eyes

 

Shining bright and vivid

In our midnight paradise

Her eyes; brimming over in ecstasy

 

These sleepless nights

Bring her memories back

Not in pain nor in consolation

 

I can still count her steps

One, two…three... And the Fifteenth

Before she drove off
