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

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.

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
