Selene
there was no moon out the night i met you
it was like it had been swallowed whole, hidden
underneath the night sky. and with it, everything
was swallowed in its darkness. no stars peeked out,
no streetlights flickered, there was nothing except
absolute oblivion. i was losing myself in that oblivion.
can i sit next to you?
it's lonely sitting by yourself.
but. then i saw you. and it was like the world lit up.
there were constellations in your eyes, supernovas
clinging to your cheeks. comets tangled up in the
strands of your hair. you were mesmerizing, as if
you were the one who had taken the night sky.
what's your name?
my name is selene.
i only saw you when the night sky was barren,
only saw your smile when everything around
was enshrouded in pitch black. but you were
always shining, always bright when everything
was dark. it was as if you came in my darkest times.
i'll come visit you.
so you won't be lonely anymore.
and i should've realized it then.
the reason why the moon and stars were swallowed
into oblivion the nights i saw you. the reason why
shooting stars shot across your irises. the reason why
it seemed like you stole the briliance of the night. i should've
realized that you and i were destined to be starcrossed.
do you know what that constellation is called?
it's called lyra.
only i realized it too late, and you were gone by then.
we were never meant to be. and i am left grasping for you
in my oblivion.
my name?
my name is sol.
There’s always something
about the moon
how it unravels the doubts
I live with in my mind
I’ve said I want you
with a closed mouth
and I’ve said love with you
makes sense
but it doesn’t
the stars in my sky
don’t align
at the sound of your name
you’ve distracted me from
the storms that sometimes haunt me
but loving you seems
as empty most days
as filling a cabinet with only air
and trying to convince myself
there are no empty spaces.
Empty spaces -{renata ferretti}
The Moon
Whether you are full or just a sliver.
Not at all or eclipse, you are amazing.
The power you inflict on certain people.
Some say the full moon changes people.
Ever notice how people can act on a full moon?
The beautiful glow it casts | on water.
The array of colors it can be.
So many different name for moon cycles and types.
A personal favorite is the harvest moon.
Things that can change the moon.
Live where there are forest fires.
The moon takes on a apocalyptic form
All red and hazy from smoke.
Sad reasoning but beautiful site.
A full moon coming over a mountain range.
Beautiful site to behold.
I don't know about you, but the moon has always fascinated me.
Light-years
A day is a million miles,
A leap, a dash, a dream.
Weeks are hopes inspired,
Wishes and promises made
Unseen.
One month leads to two,
then seven and eight.
Light still shines on the morrow,
Glinting off doubt's sharp blade.
Though just as close as yesterday,
Years and years away.
We aspire to borrow time,
to reach the next star over.
the moon
I often wonder
What is so special about the moon?
It is basically a ball a darkness
disguising itself as light
stealing from the sun
giving what doesnt belong to it
talk about the greatest lie of all time
iiOr shall I say the greatest thief of all time
it's the devil in disguise
But then
I guess better the devil you kknow than the angel you don't
Right?
