Cosmic Song
riding on waves of stardust
across this mismatched sky
spotted with gold and laced
with blue black ink, thrown
together and torn apart at
the seams, the very fabric
of the universe s p l i t t i n g
as if to allow us through
colliding with the sun in a
burst of blinding color, bright
rainbow shimmering like a melody
just out of reach
we will forget this moment,
as all is forgotten, engulfed
by the universe itself, reimagined into
a new set of stars,
a dazzling comet,
a sundripped sky
in the end, we won’t remember
but we won’t be forgotten
one day we’ll be stardust
and the moon will sing
our cosmic song to everyone
that dares to listen
dirge
the moon’s white face
shone down on us
our clumsy first embrace
each tender new caress
she lit our steps along the beach
dreams pouring from our tongues
oh! the heavens we would reach!
sweet hot life when we were young
ah! long ago and far away
that time when you were here
though i went on you couldn’t stay
i seek some laughter through the tears
i’ve lived my life without your love
too soon you had to leave
i have to think that you’re above
or always would i grieve
you didn’t get to reach tomorrow
nor the future that was ours, and
the mourning moon will sing her sorrow
forever to the stars
All Night Long
Rolling across the darkest night,
I see the moon spread her wings,
and begin her flight.
Slowly she treks across the blackened ocean
Pale and sad.
She trudges through the deepest waters,
and dodges the stars, while whispering
her Favorite song.
She sails her way through the stars,
parting the weary clouds.
Faithfully she takes her leave every night
but changes her disguise.
You look at her, amazed, for the clever moon has once again
brilliantly changed her size.
With seldom break, she finds her path,
and sheds her glories over the earth,
singing her favorite song,
All the night long.
i see the sun in your eyes
you say you can see the moonlight in my eyes,
but i can see the sun in yours,
if you look hard enough,
you’ll often miss what you’re meant to find,
it’s not love i fear,
but being unworthy of yours,
you see i grapple with the hate i create,
and the love i feel for you,
if i am the moon, then you must be the sun,
for i only shine because you allow me to,
in a world of prescription pills,
how sane it is to feel crazy with you,
you know the moon will sing when the sun dies,
a hymn of mourning with the stars,
the little dipper will wave farewell,
but the waves will no longer come forth,
the end is inevitable but it’s not finite,
you’ll go on long after you’ve left,
and no longer will you see the moonlight in my eyes,
but i will still see the sun in yours.
Oh and the moon will sing her victory
glory dance
watching with her crater eyes
as I lie alone
outside
feet to the sky as if to run across her patterned bedsheets
like child to mother
crumpled linen around her eyes
as I smile
these endless sheets
aching to swallow me
in their darkness
oh how I long to join that web
of sewn stars
i could use the point of a needle
to paint my way into that coat of dreams
the moon sings a siren song
who knows who wants it more
for my bleeding heart to hang there
inbetween her tangled strings
holding me safe
safe from any harm
the balter of luna.
the moon will sing to welcome her war.
all arched brows
and pointed stares.
eyes alight with the flame of
inconsequential grace,
grounded power,
and unprecendented rage.
no split-second hesitation, only whispered orders
brimming with magic begging to
spill cooly from poised fingertips,
curling their poisoned tendrils
round the curves of her armour,
against the grain of her furor,
supplanting some insurmountable,
unequivocal wealth of power.
as if arm hairs are bristled to
teeth set squarely
and a jaw clenched,
the guttural scream of a warrior queen,
waging a celestial war,
upon the tidal pull of heavenly agitations
and wishful projections will resound.
an echoing call of the wild,
earth-shaking but so-
insufferably just.
the throes will emerge,
defiant of gravitational limitations,
unbounded by their human suppositions,
unbothered by their human acquisitions,
unbridled by human manifestations.
and, as the world falls aparts,
a misapprehension shattered by
self-actualized demand,
the moon will sing to welcome her war.
they’ll waltz for you
the moon will sing
the stars will dance
they'll waltz for you
they'll waltz far past
they'll dance among the whistled tunes
they'll dance among the whispered blues
the moon will cry for long lost love
the moon will sigh for what's to come
the stars will dance for you and me
the stars will dance for what's to be
the moon will sing
the stars will dance
the wailing wind joins in at last
a partner to the fading stars
an invisible hand that guides your heart
the singing moon
the dancing stars
a fisherman’s dream
as the shoal recedes into the night,
a pair of eyes reflect the light,
ripples pool around the bow,
as he edges near,
it’s clear he is entranced now,
captured by a riptide,
she knows it is safe not to hide,
at the surface her pallor
is shone in moonlight,
to the delight of the sailor,
she begins to sing,
as nectar fills his ears,
and the simmers, his eyes,
he leans forward to seek with lips
the divine
to his blissful misfortune
the revelation recurs,
and he falls as he reels
into the harmonic tune
A dip into the reflection of the moon
