You come and go,
your face lost
as the sky becomes
a darkened mirror
to your whereabouts,

the moon will return to me,

in its contortioncy,
its tiny crescent
a shout of faith
in a world swallowed    
of light,

only a prelude
to its bravado,
come the crescendo
as the cycle comes
full once more,
revealing the unknown lover


hey anyone is contortioncy a word?

In the way of the poet, you create.
Contortioncy is not a known word...but contortive certainly is...and I certainly got it.
Wonderful write.

I loved the pure meaning
mixed with the gentle blend of imagery.
I think that your poetic skills
really shone through in this one!

you could have used contortiveness... but who says one can't come up with new words if the essence can be maintained...

words are great when strung together like you do...
