Pöem: The Face of the Moon

The Face of the Moon

The sea could be our blanket
(bodies within bodies),
and through our bubble-gum talk,
the waves could save us:
progressively, then suddenly,

like the sun dipping it’s face
into the ocean, to quench the thirst
from the fire’s desire to
burn the world down.
However, our Nature is clever,
and by that, we spin, making Earth
a ballerina approaching consistency,
even in its compassion.

We rely on a satellite, whose
struggle to pull us in, only results
in a counter-intuitive way of
lifting us, then dropping us
gently, from the weak arms of
our said celestial moon.

Of course :slight_smile:

And thanks for recognizing the imagery. My favorite poetic movement are the imagists.

I’m just going to use this to post all my poems.

Speechless

Space is just a word
stuck between us.
Distance goes extinct
over time, and we’ve lived
an eternity - life after life -
your body, my body,
yet we fail to touch.

Let’s forget the languages
we know. Take apart our
tongues, and throw them
aside, because we are earthbound,
because today is Wednesday,
because my name is,
and because your name, isnt.

Just wrote this. Couldn’t sleep.

very good my brother.

I’ll retort hypothetically here

I care for the
I’d dare for the
but can’t acclaim to be
anything near to the

so I sit and weep
we sit and weep
our differences mean nothing
as we mean nothing

I love you brother
as you love me me

but it couldn’t be
wouldn’t dare to be

…you’re beautiful sir franz… don’t forget it
love and peace my brother

What Permanence Could Do

A quiet room full of people.
Does it bother you?

Close your eyes.
You know they’re still there.

Some might wonder
why your eyes are closed.

You’re a potato with a brain,
in the middle of the floor.

Let’s take this further:
let’s say you fall asleep.

That…peace? So poignant.
Never have I felt

such powerful feelings
in my forced state of wakefulness.

I am blind to color, and when I dream
The world ignites like bloated fireflies

bursting into colors - even emotions -
exploding in and around me. I’m inside

a living being, that I encounter every
day; but he’s mysterious and confused;

numb and loose; himself and someone
else,

when he’s awake.
