The stars put out their lamps
Leaving the grey sky
The moon compensating, smiled meekly
A clear ball
Different from yesterday’s banana
I stayed an eternity with you
But just as my heart counted a second
The night rolled its mat
Bringing in the harsh reality of day.

EDITOR’S COMMENT: Su’eddie is one of the poets I have great respect for. His verses are rich and deep…for long, we’ve been friends and he has been a staunch supporter of the WRRPoetry project.
I have seen the book…Trust me, its worth buying. Something to keep for the yet unborn.
