Desert Moon Kisses The Memphis Sky

Reality smokes with

A swirling ethereal vision

In a realm of forgotten

Mocha caramel embrace

 

As sad drifting Blue’s notes

Die becoming frozen bliss

As the orgasmic Memphis

Evening turns into cold silence

 

Tomorrow’s clear dreams become

Yesterday’s opportunity

As the vacant desert moon

Kisses the dark Memphis sky

 

An exotic passion tastes

Of stale black bitter coffee

The burnt pungent odor swirls

Enveloping the alabaster soul

 

Dry heat collides with tears

Evaporating once pleasant hopes

A hand reaches out for yours

Pulled back by shadow’s distance

 

Tomorrow’s clear dreams become

Yesterday’s opportunity

Melodic misery singing

An intoxicating lullaby. 

Reviews

Absolute, true poetry. I love poetry like this. It's the kind of poetry English classes will have to study because it's so beautiful, but the students would actually enjoy it. I love every word put into this. I normally put my favorite part of a poem into a review, but I can't pick just one. I just love it all!

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

A highly truthful and gained writing piece, well done

[KimLove "The Beautiful ..]

I can truly relate. Very nicely put:
Dry heat collides with tears
Evaporating once pleasant hopes
A hand reaches out for yours
Pulled back by shadow’s distance

Beautifully worded. xo

The poem is amazing. I could see the sky with your powerful description. The dawn seem to awake the sleeping spirit and memory. I like the ending to the outstanding poem.

I like your descriptive wording and imagery throughout. The presentation and style is smooth and flows evenly without any rough edges. I became one with the poem trying to feel the mood and emotion within it. Beautiful!

Quietly, elegantly you use your pen, to describe those deep emotions.
I sense a sadness written beneath the new and vibrant moon, and yet it's the future that has to become a certain reality..........that final stanza blew me clean away :O)
