Up above, the stars align
Beneath the clouds, two fates intertwine
their twinkling sets the earth alight
Down below, amidst the frenzy
Grumble a few impatient bellies
But it’s the eyes that will feast tonight
Classy Suits and rainbow dresses,
Clean shaves and long, flowing tresses
Old and young celebrate alike
Eyes brimming with love, bodies swaying in jubilation
Many look in envy, some in admiration,
While others cast jealous eyes
Invariably though, each gaze traces,
Converging on two moonlit faces
Making envious, even the stars in the skies.
On their throne; an able king and his worthy queen,
a couple who seem like they just walked out of a dream
a kingdom with a future so bright
now that all is said and done,
forget not you were missing one
who revels in your happiness that night
remember then a boy far away,
Celebrating alone every single day,
who couldn't catch a long flight
who couldn't be there though he tried
if only his regret could be quantified.
