The lamentation of the moth

Contributed by iodinelove on Saturday, 18th August 2007 @ 06:41:17 PM in AEST
Topic: drugabuse

Great light unparalleled, the gardens of my heart grow steadily towards your attentive sol, my breath sings silently my plea to you, I am far from home.
Luna trapped the winter months within a silver gloom, and pressed with loom and silver thread the shadow of the moon--and though I dared the snow with broken bones my footing did not hold, and I am far from home.

Great light, I have sought to cast forth my shattered soul and drink from the darkness of your vast eclipse your inevitable rise, and bathe in the glory of your steep decline, but I am far from home.

beautiful, descriptive, i love the abstract feel and the less than solidly linked associations... it's always wonderful to read a truly engaging write.

I love your poems more and more. You have such great flow and they read like a dream - they are so open to interpretation, there's not one single story behind this. And you can take even the most cliched subjects - such as the moon, and make it so beautiful. I love the part about the snow, especially. The whole thing is gorgeous, one of my favs of yours. Humbled as usual.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
