Run Away From the Moon
a single tear drop
drawn forth by
the sun
falls quivering into
creamy moonlight
silently with
a soul attached by spider
silken thread
tumble, tumble
a lullaby, tear, let
the moon’s reflection glint over
your glassy surface on
an ivory palette
gone red
one tear, one moon
one empty heart,
trickle a love song,
tired tear, be enveloped
by moonbeams, but hide
under flannel covers
of a bed
shine like the stars,
shiny tear
don’t be afraid to be
brightest—stand out
stand alone
sing alone
fall alone
shooting star tear,
run away from the moon
singing a tune
forever in my head
I love this! The imagery you used is absolutely stunning :)
ReplyDeleteThere's something about this poem that's really familiar, but it's hard to grasp.
ReplyDeleteAnd although the "running away" seems to be courageous thing, it also seems related to fear.
Just my perception, though.
Thanks Shayli :) And I think it's kind of both courageous and fearful, James.
