The Moon Dust will not Fall Nevermore

.



                                             At different times
                                             in separate beds
                                             we sleep to forget
                                             Sunset is sunrise
                                             and nobody cares

                                             There it's sunny
                                             and here it rains
                                             who needs rainbows
                                             if no one cares?

                                             The Moon dust 
                                             will not fall 
                                             nevermore

                                             Nothing
                                             Nada

                                             Off!

                                             Out!

                                             That's that!
                                             Who cares?

                                             Just drowned coins
                                             a cracked glass
                                             feeble stars

                                             Where's the Moon dust?
                                             Where're the arrows?
                                             Where's the fairy?
                                             Where's our strong faith?

                                             A distance that drowns
                                             through forbidden dreams
                                             we wait for the Moon
                                             to sleep and forget
                                             and nobody cares!

    WoW Ruben! Talk about Angst! Too often instead of facing our problems we tend to try to hide from them and hope, like Scarlett O'Hara that tomorrow will be a another day. Great job here. Good luck in the contest. God Bless and thanks so much for your kind words on 'Plainly Speaking'. JB

    This really flowed great for me, I really like your first & last stanzas here and "Just drowned coins a cracked glass feeble stars"-- you've touched on pondering questions here-- sometimes it just feels that way-- I bet Catie will love this one! :)

    Just coming here to say HIYA!!! Let me check in your oldies and see if I can quick find one i've never read!

    Oh, Ruben, I know this sad poem comes straight from your heart. I too get the feeling nobody cares if I wake in the morning. This is an aweoe entry for the contest and you know I am always pulling for my dear friend to win! Love, Carolyn

    Sorry my friend I didn't mean to skip your question. I personally like the poets name on my contest entries because if there is a mistake I like to let them know and without a name it's more of a search. Hope that answers your question. Michael

    who need rainbows if no one cares/we wait for the moon to sleep and forget-Heartwrenching poem Ruben..Very sentimental.. One can almost feel the moon dust be blown in nothingness..tmfs

  1. Date: 3/18/2012 9:20:00 PM

    Ruben, you touched on the way I have been feeling lately. Such gloom in the world these days. My kind of poem (my own moondust poem a bit like yours!!) You did very well with this form. Good night . I left a soupmail.

  1. Date: 3/18/2012 9:01:00 PM

    Dang....this is horribly true for many marriages...I wish all marriages across our land would heal and families could be stronger...without moondust/faith, we can just throw in the towel! I love it, Ruben! A strong poem....so, I have come up with a dino name for you to use on your limerick...ready?....Reuban-sandwicho-saurus! ah ha....u can be the dinner of the T Rex!!! ha ha. I know....I know....I am a total weirdo....ha ha.

    I was thinking of Argentinosaurus (real name) but since i was a kid (not too long ago!) I always like the Triceratops...so it would be something like "Tricep-Ruben-at-top" : )

    Ruben, I like that sunrise is sunset.. and as for the rain, and no rainbow needed is very true in some cases.. your poem, hits a sad note.. a very enjoyable poem.. have yourself a good night~ always*PD

    I really like this one, but check the last line in the next to last verse. Maybe use the word, 'is' instead. Hugs, and best wishes in my contest. Catie
