Mother Moon

The Moonlight drips down her frosty tears of emotion
Pulling tide, pushing tide
  like a forlorn lover.
Deep in a reverie, 
   filled in with shades of the wind
Decisions always have to be made
   whether to show her face in full
   or to show her shadowy slivers of seduction
Pushing tide, pulling tide
  tears that will forever fall
  onto a barren earthscape  
      of tundras
      and lava beds
   coral reefs wrapping around her ankle
   pulling her deeper into the memory she left behind
   pushing her unto the verge of bliss untold
as her tears drip milky liquid
onto the surface of the mountain.

Author’s Note:

In the course of cleaning today, I found a scrap of paper covered front and back with this poem – dated 10.11.2002
This is one of those rare instances when I recognize where my inspiration was coming from, even from so long ago. I have long admired the work’s of Christopher Pike, especially his novel “The Season of Passage”. It’s a great science fiction/folklore story that is weaved together beautifully. And while my poem has nothing to do with his story, I remember thinking about the Moonlight as a person and this poured forth.

Magic Dust

 the world is dusted in magic
   our magic
lightly frosted on pine
      needles and naked branches
heated breath on
   icicle covered windows
Our very own winter wonderland

I drove in darkness
  illuminated
by the February moon
   reaching out her long silvery fingers 
    to dust the road with sparkling flakes

Inner thoughts pulsating heavy
  deep questions and answers yet to come
In that silence of that drive
  the future lay stretched out into forever
All ours 
  so pure in the distance
  as we approached
  and passed 
   became marred and charred by our words and our actions

We continue on

In the rearview
I see 
   sprouts of green
pushing through
  where our footsteps had been

One tear…

One tear falls
   drips
Orbits the moon
Drops down
   into the cosmic goo
That is us.

We separate, you and I
   into beings divine
searching out purpose
seeking out life

It only takes one tear
   to make a tidal wave
One tear to break apart
   a house of cards
   a house of hearts.

A title wave
   of a grander kind
   full of hidden meanings and secret doors
Where the right tear
   might just be the key
   you didn't even know you possessed.

Like diamonds,
   they fall.

One
   by
      one.

Catch it.

Drip
   drop
      drown.

One tear.
