une minute avec la lune



 

~ une minute avec la lune ~

 

 

Hello.  Me again

first, let me apologize

for getting it wrong

 

keeper of secrets

you knew all my desires

and yet, you were tied

 

I asked the wrong things

you could send my love to him

but not bring his back

 

I understand now

I can’t will specific love

I can’t wish for his

 

but I can, and do,

wish him love and happiness

his own, to explore

 

and for me, dear moon

your presence my one constant

your lesson, received

 

it’s a new chapter

of my secret diary

 

I seek only truth.

Shadows vs. Light



  ~ Shadows vs. Light ~

 

 

I breathe in your memory

and exhale your name

the sound whispers through the darkness

of a lost love

 

Glimpses of a resurrection

tease my mind

shadows of light

but one of us is blind

 

I stumble through the corridors

of a broken heart

stepping over remnants

of a history I cannot escape

 

Years in isolation

leave our souls confined

shadows of light

keep us aligned

 

I implored upon Fate

She only led me here

to face the same questions

no one seems to answer

 

Hope’s evaporation

the inevitable decline

shadows of light

dim as they resign

 

I breathe in your memory

and exhale your name

it echoes through the darkness

waiting to be answered.
