And Just Like the Moon...

And Just Like the Moon...

 

 

Vaguely lit

--- by the summer moon,

starlight sang her ancient song.

 

      Her sweet madness, well shrouded like a child's secret;

--sang to her like she were a dying friend.

Their smiles twinkled as a banana spider spun

Venus into her web.

Moon shadows planted their face

in the tall, dewy grass

as shimmering willows sent their fingers feeling.

 

       Memories from many centuries past

came flooding back like a retreating tsunami.

Her soft touch tingled on his skin,

something even Picasso couldn't capture on canvas.

        His thoughts dove into the dark depths of her eyes,

swimming off into the dancing starlight.

She tossed stones through the moon's watery reflection

and a million more moons slow danced across the surface.

     We caught shooting stars and sealed them in jars,

 

and just like the moon...

 

=========I hung there.
