Like ghosts we pass each other
moments of who we were evaporated
a nod,a smile,a glimpse on occasion
only feeling when we argue,
bouncing bitterness off of each other.
We are great friends though we tell
as we drift back to our individual shadows...

Vision.
MoonChild Jul 2013
Thrive in the wind
blood rushing,soaring above myself
below the godlike sky
in between I float and soar
spinning,in control
I am,I am,I am
a part of this
the bigger part of me
the best part,the only
in tune and free
at last...

For laughter I came here
for the same I stayed
'til it became vitriolic
and unfunny
my shape shifting to suit
uncomfortable and not recognised
I shed the farce
and walked away..

You sang me a song
and then took it back,
Held me like a fragile bird
then let me go.
It's cold here
in the sun by myself,
glaringly,blindingly,beautiful,
This bird knows not how to fly
and wants to go home...

When did you return
come back to stone
forgiving all
for giving nothing
taken
ground down,
mortar and pestle
to powder
brittle again
and in a breath
you go again
from yourself
adrift to the wind.

but I had to go mad
to become real
a diagnoses of mirrors
permission to feel,
I miss the drugs
when I swallow the medication
mind numbingly beautiful
with veins like seaweed
wavering in water
salty
thirst never quenched
I crave it like he does.

To ashes.
MoonChild Jul 2013
We ripped it up and tore it down
made braids from stone and granite
our fingers bleeding,
I loved you then
never been so close to it.

Stone and granite powder now
like our bones
our hearts bleeding dust
I love you still
always will
never been so close to it.

The pages flicker
like candles lit
I'm trying  to put it
here.
Trying to come home to
here.
I'm crying out my reality
real,real,real
anywhere
but
here.

Touch.
MoonChild Jul 2013
Undeniable
indelible print
incredulous
swift
like a tainted fingerprint
smudges my mouth
bruising me
a star and a smile
leaving me hungered.

Precious,Precious,
such itchy thumbs had she
scraped on walls
against trees and bricks
such itchy thumbs
and fingers of blood
to caress her love,her love,her love,
leaves with a smile
smoke and mirrors
she will come today
Precious,Precious..

******* son
born of delusion
man of height
of breadth
eyes of steel
corrosion of soul
mine
gone now
thief and liar
giver of light
I step back into the shadows
and wait..

Creases on his hands,tracks of time
gathered and pinched to join together
the pen grasped
Still gives it out,the words
simple words of a life
well lived.

Love murdered,strange love
there are no cigarettes to smoke
the monkey has long nails
they scratch at my neck
Demons gnaw at the edges
I give them my rage to appease appetite.
The sun still in it's mocking glory
shines.

Curtail.
MoonChild Jul 2013
Truth sifts through
like fine lace
hand woven with care
but with so much to lose
we keep it wrapped in hessian
harsh and abrasive
kept safe within.
