I am the moon,
I too have my phases.

Was my neighbour's daughter,
She was blossoming into a beauty day by day,
Her fragrance played havoc with my senses,
So I became her butterfly,
Hovering around her night and day.

She cried a lot
As her play went wrong
One scene was missed
to find the dress kept on drum

Dress which was to change
was misplaced by someone to disarrange the things

She cried a lot
Nothing went wrong
Mentor told in good tone

But she cried a lot
Spectators did not know
any thing missed

But she said
"I am not crying for them
I am crying for me
Which I missed was precious to me"

I've been to the crushing
place.
It smells of death, and
spider mums.
Daisy chains dropped
when the music died.
The lake is murky now.
Clowns roam the street,
looking for carnivals
and meat.
Silly boys still believe
in love and dreams, and
girls that like opera and
giving head.
This world is strange, and
Picasso walks the lonely
avenues, feeding
seagulls' peanuts and paint.
No one blames him.
It's his blue period.
All the while,
an old bent man plays
the guitar.
He smells like camels,
and hope.

amor tardius occidit
We should have
been so much
more.
Now we're just a torn
page
in a finished book.
The memories are
fading,
but the pain still lingers.
I still smell you on
my fingers.
I still taste you on
my tongue.
Love kills slowly;
a backward glance from
an invisible god.
I'm a bird that sings,
but cannot fly.
I'm the ticking of a
clock.
A rocking chair.

tick

tock...

The forbidden feelings of my inner hearts, how to tell you?

The recitation of the harp chimes of my mind, how to tell you?

A glimpse of your smile blooms a lotus in my heart, how to tell you?

Everything is just blooming because of you, how to tell you?

My life has become a festival since you met me, how to tell you?

I feel myself the wealthiest person, only because of you, how to tell you?

Your little laugh will erase all the troubles from my mind, how to tell you?

The strings of my heart are connected with you, how to tell you?

You have been my companion for so many lives, how to tell you??

In fact you are the definition of love for me, how to tell you?

Moon is on the sky and we are on earth.
Moon is alone there and we are on earth.

Sparkling rivers plays pranks.
Raining heavily with lightning strikes.
My eyelids become moist whenever I remember you.
The loneliness of the evening is upon us
The atrocities are being committed.

Moon is on the sky and we are on earth.
Moon is alone there and we are on earth.

So many beads per rosary, moon stars moonlight.
Bumblebees are butterflies and green plants flowers buds.
When will we hear the chirping of birds along with the beautiful poem.

Moon is on the sky and we are on earth.
Moon is alone there and we are on earth.

I’VE BEEN ASKING
I AM ASKING
I’LL KEEP ASKING.
WILL THERE EVER BE
AN ANSWER.
WILL I HEAR IT
IF IT COMES.

????
Forty eight years of faithful service
Crumpled like a Kleenex and tossed away
By evil people with only ten names between them;
Forcing me to pack up all my grief and anger
And replat a blazing desert to make it be my home,

Far from where I’d ever want to be while
Deprived of what I’ve always loved to do
And surrounded by the things I do not like.
I had to replat the sand dunes of my very soul
To find a little valley where I hope to heal my hurt.

I asked for someone to give me their own word challenge and Ken Pepiton obliged with "replat"  After I  looked it up, I came up with the  above.
