Midday Moon

Midday moon,
A stranger in your own home.
The uninvited guest.
Mammothly insignificant,
Yet strangely unavoidable.
Midday moon.

Midday moon,
Why are you not sleeping,
Waiting for night to come?
Why are you not dozing lazily,
In the vast emptiness of space?
Bobbing awkwardly in the cloud-filled sky.
Midday moon.

Midday moon,
Why do you don your silver gown,
Before your late night dance?
Why are you peeking through the clouds,
Spying on the Sun?
Faded and pale in the harsh light of day.
Midday moon.

Midday moon,
Why do you shimmer in the bright blue sky?
The unwanted intruder.
Why do you float upon a sea that is not yours to float on?
Why do you bother?
Unpopular, unwelcome, unloved.
Midday moon.

Words And Words

The is room full of words, How did it get this way. Painted white, with words of night, Creating chaos where they lay. The paint has splattered the floor And the pen still roles around.

Something That Never Ends

In the light of the sun, I have no worries. I am not scared, Nor am I anyone else. It's a funny feeling, One that I adore. It's like I'm free, For the first time in my existence.

Twinkle Twinkle ...

I am a little twinkling star. A-shining down on thee. And I'm looking for some others. To keep me company. As I look from the heavens. Down on the Earth below. Beating hearts, I see by the dozen.

G o ahead and talk your shit, but. R emember the lies your spouting. A ll of a sudden you'll lose your grip. S orry will seem like a mountain. S o sit there and throw your stones.

My Fear

My greatest fear is not what you thought. It's not being chased down and caught. It's not heights. Or wolf bites. It's not spiders, snakes or bugs. It's not something hiding under your rugs.

Unfinished Business

A bunch of unfinished stuff. Love & hope: Love is temporary. Hope is eternal. Little fair girl: Little fair girl, with your bucket so pink. Why do you want to pour your heart into the sink.

Every face can tell it's story, Every name it tells it's tale. Every step can tell it's journey. Every success can show it's fail. Every feeling can be shown. Every word can be expressed.

Sadness, often felt, rarely spoken - like a friend whose name you do not say when you speak because they know you are talking to them, and everyone else knows who you are talking about.
