The Other Side of the Moon




Windswept tears and boomerang fears
clears, but never quite disappears
seeking ways to become immune
on the other side of the moon
 
hiding here, but throwing clues there
juxtaposed desires ensnare
the heart, it retreats into a cocoon
on the other side of the moon
 
look for truth behind the danger
pay homage to love, the stranger
to hearts that land wherever strewn
on the other side of the moon
 
windswept tears and boomerang fears
on the other side of the moon.

  2. Perfect time to lament and hide on the other side of that big beautiful Supermoon tonight! Enjoy the magic of it's shade and the joy in it's light xo

  3. Your poem eclipses the super moon in plain sight, where all the answers lie just beyond the shadows.

  6. Ah.... two of my favorites, the full moon and the Kyrielle sonnet! Well done, such a beautiful Supermoon it was. And how lucky, we will see two more, on January 2 and 31! :) <3
