Moon Goddess

Mythical Girl #5

I sit atop the moon

Watching chaos down below

What's a girl to do?

 

She'll never meet your hollow gaze

But if she does

She'll see into your very soul

Your darkest secrets

 

She sees the world

Squirming down below

So safe up high

But all alone

Screaming children

Oh, they break her heart

 

A monster keeps her locked up tight

Alone

 

Shooting stars

Offer cold company

But she spies a warmth

On another side

So far away

 

This thing she loves so much

Is that of which she steals her beauty

 

Never she'll touch

Those things growing green

Living

Never she'll touch

The face of worshippers

Believers

 

Belief in her

And she can't show she's there

Listening, visiting the dreams of those

That believe in what cannot be found

 

She's seen everything

And yet

Believes in nothing

[Poetic Beauty]

this is a beautiful poem that tells a sad tale of longing and wanting to be more than what you are. It is a story of loosing hope. this is spun in a magical way and the imagery is beautiful. the flow is easily followed allowing your story to come across loud and clear without disruption. Beautiful piece of poetry.

[Mary Katherine]

Another nice one! As I have said before, my favorite poems to read are the ones that tell a story. Great job!

[ForTheWorld]

Huh!! It was like a real situation in our life..I love fantasies...

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

Its cool how the fantasy of it all just overwhelmed me. You wrote on an enormous scale. I was reminded to be careful for what I wish as I read about a prisoner in a place where many desire above all else to be.

Children wishing to be stars n' hidden secrets n' believers n' disbelievers n' ancient creeds n' dreams are over your writing! You invite the reader to ponder magic n' whether it's possible to believe in the things only the heart of a child sees. You inspire me to look deeper into my own writing, n' to shine a light on the dark things most people turn away from, to see the hidden beauty there. ㋡
