Blue Moon

She said
blue moon is rising
it understands
what it is like to love
to be human
and alone
uncertain
imperfect.

She knows
the sun and the moon
argues
as to who
will bring me to slumber
I give into the night.

I prefer
to walk
in light of day.

I will slumber
sleep under he the moon
the orbiting albino
with one thousand shafts of light
as it casts cool upon  the sea.

Blue moon tonight
a big crescent balloon
shaving slivers from our soul
over calm surface of the sea.

Hold my hand and kiss me
while the moon
brings high tide to shore.

It is a song of longing
from blue moon of August
full moon drum of the sea
as the stars shine like small pearls.

Minute moons in the sky
dazzling images of light
they wrap the blue seaweed
sparkling, dancing and dizzy of tides.

We embrace and kiss
the sea horses neigh
all the island mermaids
come out to sing...

Hello Kenneth, this reminds me of two hearts so so different and so so alike in every way. I like this a lot, it gave me an embracing feeling that love exist in every way possible. Sun & Moon. we are to one another. Masterful and marvelous and in some ways magical like a fantasy. I much enjoyed the imagery. Great write :-) your newest fan LINDA
