Dissected by the Moon It was last night when across the floor a slice of white came through the door I was dissected by the moon into variegated delight of room As from my sleep I woke to see all of me rumpled satin cream as the movement of the galaxies crossed the valley of my dreams I turned to dimensions more than three and even through the screen this beam kissed my breath to sharp intake and made of me a shadowed gate To Delphi with frenzy of Pythia oracle of ancient sound you see I felt Apollo reach my bed whispering words of love long dead It mattered not that warm sweet wind came with the slice that cut me thin I knew the breath was born from bone that crossed through veil of time unknown So bitter sweet the touch of rare in ancient Greece my youth so fair that spilled from out this mouth of pearl it left me never more a girl |

Oh my, the timing on this post! ROTFL. You posted this the same time I posted one about dumping nuclear waste on the moon. I do like your moon poem much better.  |

the silent face of God In lunar smiles blew its chilling breath of spent time across all those who innocently slept Unto the morn, they awoke transformed with new words of faith and maturity of life |

"So bitter sweet the touch of rare in ancient Greece my youth so fair that spilled from out this mouth of pearl it left me never more a girl"   (smiles) Oh Martie, this is soooooo beautiful, sweet friend, I love it, this had me imagining the gorgeous islands and olive vines there and the gorgeous moon shimmering! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

You're amazing Martie !! Enjoyed. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

'It mattered not that warm sweet wind came with the slice that cut me thin I knew the breath was born from bone that crossed through veil of time unknown' I wish my muse had left those lines with me. |
