I Wonder About You Moon

I WONDER ABOUT YOU MOON

Into your silvery wisp

the crescent curves I yearn

Upon the night air crisp

You linger then you burn

 

Passion pale and looming

Together they become you

You, always there unassuming,

Each night revealed anew

 

So many spotlights shone

turned off with but a wink

But you sated all alone

Can cause my heart to sync.

 

Confessions voiced into your light

Can speak a different tale

Whether dark oaths or beaming bright

I wonder why you’re pale?

 

Are you so pale just from fatigue?

Traversing all this earth

Climbing Heaven ‘s stairs each week

To witness nightly births.

 

The work too much, caressing thrones,

Of grandeur, His bequeathed

in stark reveries, with eyes unsewn,

your power is released

 

A simple shimmy to the right

Or left absorbing heat

Then to cycle, when day is night

And passion is replete

 

Again to sea, those darkened seas,

To find your gilt lover

Svelte your smile beyond the trees,

Pines for ardent cover

 

But none will fully understand

The gravity of you

Just ask the waves that hit the land

your influence is truth.

 

Perhaps your grin is misconstrued

From that wan upon your face.

That same old string in servitude

The path that you must grace

 

You linger there and pass like ships

Though no one else intrudes

No slattern hanging from your hips

No passions you’ve pursued

 

So are you running scared and weak,

Afraid of what will come

The gravity of that we speak

Is all too much for some

 

I do believe you have your pride

And virtue is your way

We always say it’s what’s inside

But yours is on display

 

You hide that pall in shades of dark

Though show in languished light

The depths of love its kindling spark

Can hurt if it’s not right.

 

I ask you moon of your disgrace

Are you lovestruck by the stars?

The way they write about face

Is it laced with smiles or scars?

 

You reach for me although he burns

My passions are aflame

My touch is what your innards yearn

But that feeling never came

 

In this path we know and speak of

Are you fated as the fool?

When near the touch of true love,

Are you unrequited too?
