Selenophile by poetictwenty(m): 8:35am On Jun 27, 2022 |
SELENOPHILE If the moon should write the story of my life, She will poem the ode of a boy who defeated his fate, By fighting his way out of the prisons of penury And had his name inked in the book of greats. If you ask the moon about the boy I was and the man I am. She will tell you the many times we spoke in silence; The many times we stare at each other Like a lover lost in the eyes of each other. The moon has record of the many times My eyes drowned my pillow with sorrowful waters; The many times my thought made my head too heavy for my neck, That my hands was called to help hold my head from falling. The Moon knows the many times I went on my knees Just to pen my worries on the silent night While hoping the air around will help parcel Them to the ears of the God of my father’s The moon knows the reason I smile Each time I watch her make her way out of the sky. For she was there for me in my darkest moments Beaming on me the lights she borrowed from the sun. JOO 3 Likes |

I like your poem. Very powerful use of imagery had me thinking you and the moon had some kind of relationship going on...very nice. Are you published? Cos there are some typos and you need an editor. |
