i would listen to you through the rain
your tales of mermaids and faeries,
of moon dust and stars
i could listen forever.
it hasn’t rained for some time now.
i miss the rain.
i miss you.

spring arrives in colour
and as it blooms it brings a gift
a being to comfort you
as the winter season lifts
she’s bewitching and spiritual
stardust spills from her lips
eyes melt like rays,
circling an eclipse
a happy birthday to ashley gerasch
a goddess, a moon child
i love you forever and always
stay strange and wild

to love is to marry said she
as she dressed to be led in matrimony
her view was clouded by her parents and a lie
and a lonely man with a love he intended to buy
the night before she was tears and worry
for a love without marriage was unknown
but when she painted her face with a smile and makeup
she walked down the isle feeling at home
