Drawn into a navy blue windstripe, in the middle of a forest sky.. Touched by a tear she wept clearly, enduring the color of a bleeding star with bits of frost upon the edges on the opposite side of where the mist lies. I do believe you've wished upon my moon. But I'd be no better if I'd wished upon yours, chances are I have. Never would I admit my guilt, my claiming your scene minute.. For this was not the case, for weeping shows a flaw in truth. But I will shout, in dismay, that my flowers in the window decay and I've not the means to replace, no, I've not granted myself that privilege. For I was the one who tore them from their resting place, I was not the victim of hopelessness' rage.. So I forgive not the truth, but that which is mortal.. Like you, and I.. Hours could pass and I'd still not notice your absence from this house, or this bed.. I do not grasp the chilling air in hopes to feel warm heartbeats under the sand.. ..and this ocean does not drown me as it once did, the salt in my lungs dries the lips that kissed in such a vulnerable manner.. but I digress... That it's more likely to be that my moon has not yet granted your wishes, as it's never granted mine.. in any case, we're caressing the thorns on the roses we wept over as they decayed.

one of my favorite parts of this beautiful poem...because I've never heard the moon described in such a way.. "...a bleeding star with bits of frost upon the edges..." enjoyed!  All of my impurities are right here on my sleeve. This is Me"---Faith Hill |

Gawd! You are really good at the "mood" poetry...the ones that put me in a mood that I can't even explain, but I like it |
