Once in a Blue Moon

Blue Moon

To do something “once in a blue moon” is to do it very rarely: “That company puts on a good performance only once in a blue moon. Source: theidioms.com

The blue moon is the full moon that appears a second time in the same calendar month, and this phenomenon happens only once in 32 months. 

Apart from that, sometimes the full moon seems different in color, especially blue and orange, and more prominent. 

You stole my smiles; it lasted for miles. You said I’ll be back soon. 

But, I knew in my heart that “your soon” would only be once in a blue moon

I watched by the moon’s light, but you were never returning.

All I remember about you was my heartfelt yearnings

I faulted you 

for sayings untrue

how could I have known

your life you did not own

they say you sailed away one day into a sea of blue

but the white squall was more extensive than any 

strong-armed crew

our pages of life we think written in ink

doesn’t take into account that pages can sink

Once in a blue moon, you’ll find he will pull you along. Capturing your heart With his loving song

He may promise you the world with his words

But hopes are quickly dashed away with 

unforeseeable swords

so your desire for that sailor to return home soon

will probably only happen once in a blue moon
