Moon Caress

I've always thought light to water is what fingers are to ones body.

why does Water glitter?

is it the way the Moon Caresses its curves

like Boney piano Hands

Aching as they find the Grooves of a back

A Chest

A Heart?

 

is it the Sunlight dappled wave’s

that crash onto Shorelines

into Sands of grit Teeth

and Vintage kisses

 

the Shoes that waded into the Ocean only to be left by its Beaches

Covered in your Youth and Lies

Buried in Seaweed

as Music and Magic enter the eyes of someone smaller then me

a Magic we all once Possessed

Caressed

like the Curves of your Lovers body

[next to you at night]

 

sometimes I Wonder if it’s the Stars

that Speckles the ocean with Wishes

and Drench only the very Tips of my hair

as we Wade into the rivers of glittering Tears that have spilled

(wishes are never granted)

Little Girls

Little Boys

and Grownups who need something to Believe In

it was Once Upon a Time

 

maybe it’s old Radio waves

that Somehow got Locked into a Light Beam

making the Glittering Waves of a Full Moon

Dances to off Ghostly Melodies that were Sung around Campfires

Summer Times before

 

a Bird is Trapped in my head

like some form of Caged Animal

that Draws a Deep Breath from the Freedom

Only to turn into a Cyanide days later

 

the Ocean is Glittering

on the other side of the World

where Someday, Sometime, once I was Someone there

things are Peaceful

Birds are Free

and my Head is in the Clouds

where my Flesh is Carved by Fingers

of Moonlight

[Replacing my Lovers at Night]
