Silver Moon

Silver moon
wafting like a perfume droplet in the air,
shine on my neck
and place a soft kiss on the ivory space.

Silver moon 
let me cry to you
wailing and calling 
for you embrace me in light.

Silver moon
you make me feel hurt
You're so fleeting
and my heart is a red and bloody rock.

Silver moon
I love you like a song,
the words always flow from my lips
in an unending flow.

Silver moon
you always have to go
and I want to wait in the snow
until my body is a statue paying homage to you.

Silver moon
I know you have to float
but I have to fly
so let's love while it lasts and kiss until dawn.

Silver moon,
you have filled me with light
but I must meet my new lover
so let's say goodnight for now and forever.

We say maybe we'll remember.
Then love goes out like an ember.

  • Growing Up

    In some crevice of my mind
    I know that spring has ended.

    I must leave behind my forest green
    and bury the laughter and dreams
    just beyond the trees.

    The snow is calling to my bones
    sapping away the life of flowers
  • Who Are You?

    I don't know.
    Shadows under my eyes 
    try to answer the question.
    They're blue and sinking deeper, fast.

    I am the girl who sings
    who writes poetry
    who stands on a stage
  • The Poets Are Mad

    All the poets are crazy,
    dreamers with so much and so little to say,
    armed only with words to make everything
    in the world right again.

    They say, it is up to the artists
    it is up to the youth
