AUTUMN MOON


Autumn Moon 

Autumn moon hung over in fire over the hill's  
The wild black promontories of the coast extend 
As fare as the eyes could see , 
I need a place on the sea away from us away and 
Away from what we could be . 
One winter afternoon sunlight that gilds the cobbled 
streets of Montreal ,  
I saw a small village out side Paris , 
Beyond the light beyond the sun That is where my heart 
Hung over you , 
Under sheets of scarlet satin  
Away from vows and other sins my heart gave in  
Above the confusion and the fuss of both of us ,  
Beyond the push beyond the rush my heart felt it was  
Going to bust with all the love you gave , 
The curve of the narrow street , reflected back at you and me, 
There's a place for love and light  
A peaceful time, no wrong no right , 
Run me and never let go let's run in the streets of Paris until  
We get old , 
The shop window at left , still follows the old line of the country 
Lane that we once played . 
There's a place for love and light for the both of us , 
Where understanding takes flight ; 
The cars line the street lights of Montreal feels so right , 
With faith as sweet as scent  
There is time for us yet.

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery /Judy Emery
