Follow The Moon Where is my nightingale girl this night? empty horse carriage, empty arms, empty expression a cold blue park, dark but for the shards of moon falling through the leaves, ringed with sadness my eyes wreathed in weariness, glazed with vacant poems slipping slowly out to fall upon my coat, like rain I’m following the moon down the dreamland road of night lined with empty black tuxedos, empty dresses aglow in the lonely satellite’s cold pearl embrace gravestones of rose waltz evenings and crumbled napkins stuffed into these sweaty hands of mine like autumn leaves falling from branch to desperate branch beyond the grove of green eyes, brown eyes, hazel too but most of all dark blue eyes gripping me in the heart just as the wind whips about the bare trees and colorless scenes in bitter, blustery November, cutting right through me so I’ll follow the moon until it crumbles into the sea and then I’ll let destiny's winds fill my ragged sails to take me where I will, where I can, where I might escape that sunny, unforgettable face of her… always her "Poets are all who love, who feel great truths, and tell them; and the truth of truths is love." --Philip James Bailey |

"falling from branch to desperate branch" This is only one line that stands out in my mind. You write with vivid intensity, wonderfully colorful emotional imagery. |
