Stolen Sunlight From Moon's Surface

Stolen Sunlight From Moon's Surface Stolen sunlight ripped from the Moon’s surface the blinding light of your soul sheers clean my reflective powers you tore away the mirrors I am left naked before your gaze the clock down the hall that ticked so loudly for so many years stopped instantly on that day… the day you opened your smile to my eyelids…kissing them shocked and appalled by your advance (the leather chaps you once wore you wear no more and the chain saws stopped their incessant roar) the leaves fell from the trees snow blanketed my pain with white barren questing waves of peace I stole a sideways glance at your nose The cut so sharp of your chin The absolute perfection of God’s creation Your ear! Your hands bent by pain Looked like bird’s nests for me to rest in And I was the shadow rainbow ‘of a thousand natives sprung Sprawled wide and true across every single horizon Born to the shore to eat !...In plenty the copious gifts of the sea The fish swam to me and asked to be my feed the grass sprung up beneath my feet the clover begged me to rest a while in the daisy fertile fields I was the crocus of spring ! The beckoning of a mother’s call for dinner! I was the park where children play The picnic spread wild and wondrous…and Strawberry rich I was baked goods and coffee I was laughter and drenching …drenching truest tears All in the moment the very moment in which you ripped the sunlight off the moon’s surface and gave it to me with your first quenching wrenching smile
