~ Under the Mournful Moon ~
Presence marked, She remembered
the nights
we first came together
and then fell apart
again and again
each occurrence immortalized by
a star
under Her watchful gaze
since the beginning of time
our time
we stopped it
we lost it
we found it again
never the same
different
but solid
or so I thought
I got mad
and ran away
you grew frustrated
and closed the door
presence marked, She dimmed the
stars
sensing our cycle
has run its course
the night air grew heavy
as the moon mourned
the best of you
wanted more for me
and the best of me
cursed you for that
because the worst of me
still loved the worst of you
and even though I always
returned to you
I could not ask to come back
again

DeleteIn a world where stars dim,
ReplyDeleteon a Moon gesture, a whim,
resolve is e'er elusive
and rarely conclusive,
dealing with matters of him.
It never does seem to be conclusive. Love your riff, they're as good as your sonnets <3
Deletewonderful words....loved the line; presence marked, she dimmed the stars...wow. No Sandcastles? I love the Elvis Costello song. another wow moment here!!
ReplyDeleteI really wanted to write to that song, but there were apparently copyright issues so the song isn't on YouTube (yet). But one day I'll use it because I do love that song. I did use one of my favorite Elvis Costello songs, though. Thank you for enjoying this <3
