tieing the moon

walked to a door left open,
unprepared
was sucked in, kicking and screaming
pretending a boldness,
encircled by vultures, I spit
and clawed my way out of a snake pit
only to cocoon myself,
until discovering
this beautiful garden.

evolved like a butterfly,
enticed by the scent,
hungered by the nectar offered,
desiring a taste of each,
I traveled alone
encountering
nightmares and dreams.

I could soar
and sipped from each flower,
a taste here and there
fulfilling my needs,
sometimes drowning in them.
a year's journey on borrowed time
coming to a close.

visited a bit of heaven
built of my own design,
memories were made
as the winds of change
swirled around,
taking me here and there
lessons were learned,
mistakes were made
advice heeded and not.
I now reflect:

in the softness of touching
in the trusting by choice
fancy wrappings uncovered
found a warm soothing voice.

can be heard when I lay back
relaxing each morn
in my sea of vanilla
as each new day is born.

all the loneliness storms
are now lifting from me
I bathe lazily dreaming
with the more, I now see.

am exposed, lying naked
nothing more to be shown
you have seen, you have conquered
nothing more need be known.

being touched by the tracings
of your eyes as you kiss
and caress me in candlelight
in my ocean of bliss.

my heart's everlasting
did you know, could you tell?
was I wearing transparent
did you see through my spell?

was it me, was it you
did we both really care?
every moment in thought I
grab on in despair.

never noticing looks
nor the words, nor the touch
only feelings of tender...
have I wished far too much?

will it all end tomorrow
by the morn, in it's wake
or will dreams turn the corner
and face what's at stake?

can this moon be enticed
tied in hold, 'til nights done?
can I make it through dreams
with my thoughts of just one?

Wynter,

I think you'll make it. What a wonderful piece. It flowed so well throughout. Nicely done.

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.

Hi Wynter,

This says so much and yet ask so much too, the knot you try will have to be tied by two and im hoping you are happy, this is beautiful,

Love, Cerenity
