Midnight Moon

Sauntering in the corridor

Wandering through the halls

Lurking in the shadows

Of the palace's aged walls

Flambeau light illuminating her eyes

Midnight music pouring in her ears

She was ambling in the darkness

Leaving behind all her fears. 

Startled by a gigantic door 

Her feet stopped moving

Bedazzled by its beauty

She decided to move in

Pushing the door vigorously 

She entered an enormous library

Feeble, faint light filled in the room

As the place looked dark and dreary

Engulfed by its unbounded beauty

She gaped at the expansive bookshelves 

Suddenly a loud thud started her

As she realised presence of someone else

Enigmatically she looked around

Creepy golden eyes staring hers

Bewildered for a moment she realised

It was just a cat with black fur. 

She wandered around the bookshelves

Their iron handles covered with rust

Books were sleeping peacefully in them

Under the blankets of the dust

She stood up on the staircase

Her eyes devouring the books

Her eyes landed on the classics

As she picked her favourite book

Tales of two cities as the title read

She opened the years old book

Covered with dust and dirt

Still how great it looked! 

The book was autumn

It's pages yellow and crisp

It smelled of wood and earth

She wondered how beautiful anything could exist! 

Flipping through its pages

Something caught her eyes

A letter concealed in its pages

As she was surprised

She picked the letter up

As she began to read

"You left me alone here

In this dark lonely place

You took away with you

My eye's shine and grace

Standing on the Blackfriars 

Reminds me everything of you

The beautiful memories we shared

That only you and me knew

I remembered that day my friend

When you accidently hit my neck with seraph blade

I remember the horror and pain in your eyes

How much you looked afraid! 

The wound has healed completely

Engraving a scar on back of my neck

I could feel the pain you feel

Looking at my scar

I know my brother

You still regret

Since the day you went away 

I have stopped talking much

There is no one to hear me

And my words remain unspoken and unheard

I can still hear you playing violin

In the glimmer of moonlight

I can still hear your faint voice

In the darkest of the nights

Return back my brother

Return back again

Return back my happiness

That you took away"

26 May 1886

Her eyes widened in incredulity

She shooked her head in disbelief

She could feel the pain of the friends

As her heart filled with grief

Suddenly a voice startled her

A smooth and sensuous tone she heard

A man stood behind her

She didn't realise when he entered

His blue eyes shining like pearls

His body glowing in moonlight

Dark black hair curving down his face

Creating beautiful heavenly sight

He said I am caretaker of library

Miss return back to your place

Wandering alone here

Is not at all safe

Closing down the book

She paved her way to the door

Suddenly her eyes lingered on a violin

Whose beauty couldn't be ignored

Mesmerized by its beauty

She rushed towards it

Abruptly she was startled by his voice

Don't touch it

Miss you can't touch it, he said

It's belongs to our master's friend

He gifted this to upr master 

As he neared his end

They walked into the silence

As they moved out of the palce

He turned towards her

Revealing his bright shining face

Smiling at her brightly

He said miss you're fortune

You discovered some untold and unheard

Secrets of this palce

Befuddled for a moment

She didn't realise what he said

He turned around and walked in the corridor

As bright moonlight fell on his bare neck

She started moving back to her room

But a thought stuck her brain

She swiveled around to see him

He was walking in moonlit lane

There was a scar on his neck

Which was shining bright

She stared at him in horror

As he vanished from the sight
