Noctuary

The Orionid rained down 

And we were whirling 

Watching the star trails in each other's eyes 

You saw my soul

I saw the past when you and I were up there 

Colliding during the Big Bang 

We met again 

Hands, eyes, lips, thoughts

They all met again

And when you touched me

The moon grew fuller 

Its light incandescent

The emotion incalescent. 

Your essence

Soothed me 

How could it be 

You were always here 

Even when you weren't?

We swayed in daydreams 

Of what tomorrow would bring 

We drank the stars 

And intoxicated off of our love 

And starlight 

You held me tight 

And whispered candy words in my ear 

I kissed 

You licked 

And we erupted 

And melted.

The moon knew all our secrets that night 

She saw our passion 

And indulged her light on our desire, 

Our bodies half-bathed in her beams.

Cloaked under night's veil 

We took a roller coaster to the stars 

They will forever remember

the way we breathed each other's names...

Death

She hung by the gallows 

Of their expectations 

Her life force trickling away 

Because she didn't have the courage to say

That she refused to live life their way

Night & Day

In the day I was a breeze of happiness 

I was glad 

In the night I was a tornado of pensive pent up thoughts

missing something I never had

Missing

My soul

Gone for days

Trying to find itself

In constructed images of

Designer bags & shoes

Lost, looking in the wrong places 

For food

Did it drive off the road

Was it kidnapped by thieves

Abducted by aliens

Or did it not love me & fantasized

About running away, so it did

I search book stores, libraries

I search poems, trees

I hunt down words and sentences 

To see if maybe it's hiding among some stranger's thoughts

I search travel photos because maybe it just needed a vacation 

But it's not there

It used to be

Where did it go

Did you take it with you 

When you decided to go

When you decided that you were no longer in the mood to love me?

Do you have it wrapped up

Tangled between your lies & 

Half-ass tries?

Do you have it shuffling around your mind, bringing it out to toy with it when you think of me?

Do you hold it hostage in your tower of meaningless words and cowardly actions?

If so, please set it free...

Missing: a soul that was once carefree 

If you see anything that looks remotely similar 

Contact me

The reward: a happy girl churning out more poetry

Blank hole

All she ever wanted was to be the blank in the middle of a sentence that could never be filled. She wanted to appear unexpectedly and to be loved and to never truly be known. A flat mystery that appeared as such on first look but hid a hole so deep and spiraling that only the truly brave would venture into her wonderland of complexity.

Call to travel

The stars are tugging at my soul

Daring me to lose control

I must go down a path carved only for me 

One that requires bravery 

One that shines brightly for me

A path lit by stars and a moon full of hope and possibility 

The stars wink at me

They speak a language only my soul knows 

One where no words are needed 

But sometimes my soul is afraid to speak back 

Afraid of a new way 

Afraid of greatness 

But the wind tugs gently at my hair 

Nudging me to put aside care 

And worry 

For the sake of my destiny 

I must go 

I must lose myself 

So that I may find myself 

At another end 

New 

Evolved 

Lifted 

Up to drift among those same stars 

With my truths beared & dares done 

My soul emerged renewed 

My work & love melded as one
