Craters Poems


Premium MemberWe are the people of a new era, with patchwork hearts and longings in craters

We are the people of a new era, with patchwork hearts and longings in craters,
The generation of bold dreams sketched on shards of fallen stars.
Let us not forget, let us breathe in: the source of dizzying love springs from our depths,
From the secret garden of the self, where I and me merge in an embrace.

Windows open wide in the middle of the night,
inhaling the brisk air, soaking up some moon light.
It's cracks and craters were calling to me,
so I pulled out a telescope to see what I might see..
There was a man in the moon clearly laughing with glee..

To the Craters of the Moon

Life's long lost in the thunder
     as a conscience slowly bleeds,
Hearts have been hung out to dry
     over long forsaken needs.

     locked in shadows of the mime,
The words have lost their meanings
     with the
