Notes About The Poem

A true story of Tai and Kai now 'Taikaiwe'.

Our theme is the 'moon spoon'.

Eloping together from South Africa to Wales, we travelled on the London Underground, full of love.

When asked, why we were so happy and whether we were religious, we answered, yes sure and that our faith is 'Taikaiwe' with the crescent the 'Moon Spoon'.

 

Precious Moments

No longer marooned 

The underworld of pain too much cement
concrete delusions with only the scent
of stench life force spent a path on descent

Curve balls and orbit on steady decline
moon waning and waxing to intertwine
her shadows with his at first clandestine

Once secrets vanished they conquered the moon
cherished the crescents squared semi circles’ doom
moon spoons dining together to their tune

All moments now precious on lunar scape
assembled the stars their hearts now agape
they took their chance for this epic escape

‘I love you so much’ ‘I adore you so too’
‘Our orb’s tattoo is thus no longer taboo’
A miracle but the moon always knew
