The Promise

The stars are my witness, 
to the moon in the sky
My wishes be granted, or 
these tears I will cry
For as the stars rule by 
night, and the sun by day
I hope to get my wings, 
and travel up away.

For some time in the 
navel of wishing from 
storms
We keep our own 
together, from termites 
and worms
The penguin and the 
dolphin, the vulture and 
dove
Are in all loveliness, 
witnesses to our love.

As in mornings lovely, as 
in mornings complete
This basis shall we live by, 
till our end we meet
To keep our souls 
forever, together as one
Never to fall in battle, or 
leave one alone.

A thousand eyes seldom, 
fall upon Eden's ears
But if we be just an eye, 
the lesser the tears
The stars are my witness, 
to the moon in the sky
My wishes be granted, or 
these tears I will cry.

The Moon

I gazed up into the sky
Questioning the light of the moon
That tattooed its beam across my face
Particles sinking into my pores
Moisturizing my cracked skin
I licked my fractured lips
That tasted faintly of copper
My eyes absorbed its gaze
Feeling its soft kisses
Breeze across my cheeks
It imprinted itself on my heart
Which bled for its loneliness
In the great big black sky
Abandoned by the stars on this evening
What I wouldn’t give to drop everything
And join the moon by its side
Together forever
Holding its hand reassuringly
I knew it was afraid to spend the night alone
So I reached forward to let it know
That it in fact was not alone
I am here, I shouted
No one could hear me shout at the top of my lungs
I am here
I am here
I am here
No one responded
But I knew that the moon had heard me
And that was all that mattered
