The Facade of the Moon's Light

The Facade of the Moon's Light

A Poem by JoshuaCmngs
"

This is a poem about moonlight.

"

I’ve seen the lie in the face of the moon;

Where cross eyed lovers from fairytale lands come to meet.

They bathe in the glow of moonlight together,

And share their sentiments.

They promise of things such as love,

And happiness.

But their promises are like the moon’s light,

Just stolen rays from the sun’s glory.

They are nothing but pale imitations

Of what could have been,

Of what could be.

And so here I sit,

Away from all of those gallivanting together,

Just me and the moon.

I hate the moon.

It has a side that it shows to no one.

But the moon keeps me safe,

It keeps me from overstepping my bounds in life

Because its rays, stolen from the sun,

Remind me of the glory I can never have.

This is, pretty similar to what you said, the first pice I've read of yours in a long while. And it is epic. I'm not just saying it for the sake of it, trust me.

As always it has meaning to it and is well thought out. The unmatched rythm adds to the effect. Awe some work here+

I am Josh. I am weird, quirky, and all kinds of crazy, but I won't apologize for it. I have a very strange personality (even I don't understand myself sometimes) and I do not really know what I am doi.. more..
