blushing moon


sleepless moon, fall down with me

be my companion tonight

whisper quietly as i lay here
confide to me your fears
loveless moon, be my lover
sing your glowing song
fashion a ballad that transcends your beam
sing me deep into a dreamless sleep
lonely moon, dance with me
watch as i sway and tap and swing
howl my name, as the wolves call out for you
see how the stars and venus urge us on?
holy moon, pray for me
a lost and wandering soul am i
counsel and comfort me as i search for truth
guide me, reside with me, don't hide from me
clever moon, keep my secrets
take them to the clouds
my pride, my pain, my arsenal of words
stow them, keep them safe from prying eyes
blushing moon, accept my kiss
and what my grateful heart will give
bend down and offer your lips
and i will be on my way

Poetry is an outlet for me, but also a way to try and understand others. Music is poetry accompanied by beautiful sounds.. I have just turned 60 but have been writing poetry for about 20 years as a way of understanding 'stuff' (stuff=feelings, reactions, sorrow, etc). Reading others' words and writing my own brings me joy (insert various reactions here depending on the writing and/or my state of mind :) )
