Curse the Moon. Curse the moon. Maliciously she creeps over me, Suddenly obscuring my radiant, nirvana glow. Her pale, white light sets you deep into a trance of awe. And you slowly become oblivious to me. Somehow you managed to look past her flawed surface, But how could you overlook the deep craters of her soul? Why are my luminant beams so easily cast aside? The same rays that warmed you incessantly… I used to long for my dawning hour. Brimming with zeal while my flames of admiration tickled you awake. But you, you desire the night. The moon, With her cool demeanor and mysterious form enchants you. Can’t you realize her light is but a luster? Just a mere reflection of my magnificent blaze. Yes, curse the moon. She has, once again, eclipsed me from your view. Soon though, she will continue her trek, And thus reveal my forever-stifled glow. ***Yes, I know. A COMPLETE 180 from what I'm used to doing. I got bored and decided to try something knew. LOOK! Big words! for those of you who have seen other "poems" from me, you'll notice that usually it's just TALKING. Nothing fancy at all, just one huge vent. So ya, don't be TOO critical, but I WOULD like to here what you think. Like HONESTLY think. And this time I mean it! No more posts for awhile. FAR too many in 1 month already...Shame on me. ![]() You wouldn't worry about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.

Heya Jesa. ![]() First of all, WOW! The imagery in this is quite exceptional and your usage of long and short lines really altered the way it was read. The comparison between your 'glow' and the moons 'glow' was very creative of you. The ending in this finished the piece off extremely well (you don't see that often ![]() You have out done yourself. By far, this is one of the best poems I have ever read from you. Keep coming with these wonderful pieces we'll have to give you 'the poet that seriously kicks ass' award. ![]() Don't hold back because you shared a few in one month. Keep them coming for the devoted fans. *points to herself* ![]() ~AF~ "Why not light the candle in the dark tunnel while we head for the light at the end?" - Anonymous Albert to anonymousfemale |

Different is usually a pretty good thing... but in this case, it's an EXCEPTIONAL thing! I loved this, Jess! The images are amazing, and the $1.00 words ![]() "Yes, curse the moon. She has, once again, eclipsed me from your view. Soon though, she will continue her trek, And thus reveal my forever-stifled glow." I absolutely loved this... and the personification throughout was awesome as well. Wow... beautiful work. I REALLY enjoyed this one. --Marie You think yourself a failure, but perhaps the biggest loss is winning. |

Simply amazing. I thought it was awesome Jessica. I didn't find it to be a complete change from most of your poetry because within your earlier forms of writing you encooperated a lot of deep meanings in simple expression, whereas here you have a deep meaning within a little bit more complex way of telling the story. You also add a bit of vocabulary. Nice flaunt, hehe. I really love what you are saying in this poem. I thought you told the story well. Awesome job on this one Jess....I am fully surprised and impressed with this poem. ![]() I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

I can't express in words how much I like it because the poem left me in awe. I really enjoyed this poetry and it went to so many levels I couldn't tell what you were really trying to say, although on the surface your really just describing a lunar eclipse, is it that when the moon blocks the sun right?, the poem actually relates to many other topics in life, I don't even know what else to say except great job. ![]() I see the darkness coming all is bleak... |

Personal Thankyous: Lizzy- Devoted fan, you say? 20 bucks and I'll send you an autographed picture. LOL. I'm glad you liked it....or I'm glad you pretended to like it. LOL. Shugar- So you liked the change, aye? I dunno- I'm still kinda iffy on it... But thanks for the encouragement. Shygirl- *Grabs you* Don't blow away! haha- Thankyou for the kind words. ![]() Keoni- I worry about trying it again...Afraid that perhaps it won't be as liked as this one, ya know. But maybe I will- who knows. hehe. But I'm glad it impressed you. Mistic- Ya, of all the things I didn't like- I did like the symbolism. Library? Wow! Thanks! Leah- Yes, following guidelines- of course. ![]() ![]() Heavens Tears- Glad you liked the change. Nice of you to say so. ![]() Marie- Wow! thanks! Means so much to me that you enjoyed this. Robin- I shall try! hehe. Glad ya liked it. Javi- You should have seen me writing this. I was curled up on the couch with a 2 notpads, a dictionary, and a thesaurus. Big words just aren't my thing. LOL. But I tried. I'm really really glad you Liked it. Means so much to me. You just better not be lying. ![]() Allysa- Hey! Thanks for the compliment. Kim- HaHa- See, now that was the one line I was kinda "blah" about...But since you liked thta one specifically it makes me feel tons better. Thanks! Laura!- HURA!!! You're here! Now alls ya gotta do is get over in Teen Chat and hang out. HeHe. Thanks bunches for the reply and nice words. Hope to see you posting bunches as well. ![]() And Crash&Burn- ( Or fart boy) The one friend of Javi's I don't know. HaHa. Yep..."symbolism" I guess is what I was attempting at. Describing an eclipse but ya, had a deeper meaning. And now that you say that- i guess it probably could go with ALOT of different things. But this one imparticular- for me, was about love. how another has eclipsed me from my lover's view and in the end has forever taken away my glow, my ability to love...even when she passes on and he forgets about her. Blah Blah, yet another sappylove poem haha...But ya-anyway- I'm really really glad you liked this one. Means alot. You wouldn't worry about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did. |

I really think you should write like this more often! This was a very good, heartfelt, emotional poem, which (in my somewhat twisted mind) can be applied to many things in my life right now. Thx for the read. -Rich Love will come and love will go, but friends are forever (usually). |

Jesa, Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have a pretty good idea who this poem is about. Everything connects with the small amount that I know bout the situation. Well, I'm probably wrong about this, but that was definitely the frist thing that came into mind. Awesome, awesome, awesome. I do believe though that you are the sun and he the moon. He only shines when you are around ![]() hi Sweets, Lizzy, Kris, Ina, Allysa, Erica, Minna, Kit, Kamie, Javi, Jenn, Sharon, Nan, Cawlee, Cherish, Ashley, Sara, Justine, Leah, Jess, Kimmie, Ma |

I think he was being sarcastic Acire, dear. LOL- And what the hell is this? Teen Chat? And as far as WHO it is about. Thats for me to know and you to never find out...unless you are willing to offer a large sum for my troubles. LOL. You wouldn't worry about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did. |
