I. IMPROMPTUS by Solomon S. Drogin

129. A Roof

A night in my arms
the sky above shining stars
Lightnings flash, moon smile
On a familiar happy scene

Happy am I not this night
No dear word have I heard
No tender caress have I felt
No sweet smile have I seen

The senses hungry for you
Sleepy yet ill too in torture
Misery, thy companion, loneliness
That tears fill my eyes in grief

Hearken to my prayer
Grant me, o moon, my boon
Keep her safe for my return
With her, life to me is full
