The Moon Poems - Poems about The Moon

I held a ruler to the sky No reason why, I'd just comply They told me dreams should stay below But still, I stretched, I had to know They said "The moon is not for you" "You are just a girl, you'll fade from view" But I would climb up to the roof and whisper stars my quiet truth They called me odd,...

I wear my dress like a canvas of dreams woven from threads of the moon, as if my porcelain skin had never been touched by shadows, as if you hadn't taken me to the back of a car, a temple of secrets, as if you hadn't possessed me like an elixir flowing through a thirsty soul. I wear my...

If the stars could speak, They would speak of only your light, How it dips and peaks , In its celestial respite. If the stars could wonder, They would wonder of only your touch, How it echoes like thunder, And causes Saturn to blush. If the stars could bleed, They would bleed for only your dreams, That call to anguish the pleads, Of Venus to...

"Someday, somewhere - anywhere, unfailingly, you'll find yourself, and that, and only that, can be the happiest or bitterest hour of your life." ~ Pablo Neruda I sail through citrine waves of the moon’s pulse, weaving my spark from sea-stars numb to the blaze of a dream-lashed gaze ~ mute to the masked...

If the moon should disappear, And the sea forget her sway, Would you still walk beside me, When the stars have lost their way? Would the tides grow still and hollow, Would the cliffs no longer sing? Would the hush of moonless midnight Steal the silver from the spring? Ocean tides, so long enchanted, Whisper dreams I cannot keep— They retreat with grace unspoken To the...

Over the mountain Over the sky On the moon Joy will lie But look all around The friends are not there At the emptiness, you stare The loneliness you cannot bear You jump off the ground You never believe what you found You got what you wanted to be left alone But You cry as your feet touch the...

Who planted this notorious fuchsia tree? She is alive and glowing, said the moon with glee. Shining night stars looked down and gave the tree a nod. They loved her color; felt it was not at all odd. We see trees like this all the time in May one lied. The harvest moon rolled his eyes and moved up the...

cold moon… trouble me not with your naked eye dark tears of light you liquefy and bathe in blood slow western crawl capture breath upon god’s wall a winter’s river sweet black as stone in me your darkness flows alone dispossession life is war an unsound calm defines your core so out of place we wander wane the scent of...

No moment ever felt this peaceful, Like the one I'd often meet. Almost daily, Sun and Moon's impossible meet. When you, like the Sun, were so bright, And I, like the Moon, craved your light. My presence was incomplete without yours. But for one thing! Moon only needed Sun's light in darkness, But I wanted yours in every light. Like the fate of...

And perhaps the blood had to flow like a red river under the moon, Perhaps the skin had to open like a flower in a storm, To let the soul break free from the grip of silent shadows, I do not blame the hands that painted a silent story on the body. But how do I tell the one...
