Under a Red Moon

I shall compose you a poem,
below your round, shining face,
for this is where I feel at home,
a pen within my warm embrace.

Underneath this moon of red,
my soul begins to dance and sing,
I awaken my spirits, once dead,
at this midnight hour of spring.

Red moon born from an eclipse,
no better time to work my spell,
your hue mimics my crimson lips,
Just watch me break out of my shell.

Poet Tacito Date: 4/23/2014 11:22:00 PM Awesome! This is almost like a message to the extrovert to wake up the introvert ready to break loose and come undone. Fierce work!

Lucilla Carrillo Date: 4/22/2014 9:43:00 AM This is beautiful Kelly, it is strange how some things inspire us to write. We just had a red moon last week. Blessings and thanks for sharing with us... Lucilla Login to Reply Kelly Deschler Date: 4/23/2014 6:55:00 PM Thank you very much for reading and commenting, Lucilla. I have had trouble finding the inspiration to write lately. But, this recent event did spark something! :)

Richard Lamoureux Date: 4/21/2014 7:42:00 PM It was cloudy here so I did not get to see the red moon. I love how you expressed the experience in such a vivid way. Login to Reply Kelly Deschler Date: 4/22/2014 10:01:00 PM Actually, I didn't get to see it turn red, either. The moon was full that night and I watched it change to a crescent moon. But, by that time it was about 3 a.m., and I just could not stay awake any longer! Thank you so much for the nice comments, Richard.
