Swallow Whole the Moon

With mouth open wide I swallow whole the moon hoping to feel the tides deep within the womb of my feminine side allow this man to bloom. Pregnant with ideas I am giving birth to poems. These rocks, rivers and trees are all my native homes, a glossy jagged marble to sanctify these bones. So look above no more upon the seas of night to search for Luna, grand, no orb will grace the sky for I have snatched her fullness and ate a great moon pie.

Thanks for your visit, Gary, and the great comment; this poem took on a life of its own 'cause this was not the direction that I envisioned. Namaste.

Yes, I was having a little fun but I believe it is my feminine side that is my creative part...dare I say it, my emotional side. Thanks for stopping by.
