A Poem by Frontier
"

Just throwing it out there...

"
Are we going to make a fire? 
There are people who have only been born once 
you see the forest 
and the trees 
are all fastened together
When are we going to make a fire? 
"Make sure to see her after she gets out of the shower, that's when her DNA shines through. "
You're in the cradle and it's rocking
violently
Only this time it isn't your mother
but something vast and white
 some color like sunlight
A holographic sea
with lightning waves
marred with ghost vessels
I want to save
I want to save,
 me. 
Dear firstborn,skin torn
this hot place you adorn
turning sweat into oil
Arriving to where eyelids race
to where houses are space
"I said that woman is the sun"
Laying down my body
just so she could cover me
and make me look better
it felt so good, sun kissing on my roof
I can't believe I'm being kissed by the sun
By the next day
 burned....sunburnt 
 it hurt 
That life giver
ancient and huge
What's it trying to tell us? 
...They say not to look directly at the sun...
What about the moon
we can look at her 
she won't hurt us
She sees us too, 
her expression seems 
 distraught,
at least we can see her
There are those like the sun
We all follow the sun, it's fun
The moon has following
she is blooming at night
when everyone is gone

Haha thanks Sunya, you know after coming back to this and reading the ending it does seem a bit out .. read more
brilliantly lyrically...it moves with serpentine grace but with a violence only passion can yield. there are a lot of interesting phrases and syntax here and a hell of a lot of talent :)

First of all I just want to say that this Stanza shook me to the core.
This entire poem is amazing. I love the imagery and the journey. You have a way with words that is just amazing. It is kind ironic that we spend our waking hours under the harsh and unforgiving sun and ignore cool and loving moon...

If you wish to do so... :)
the sun is not to be trusted, she gives us what we think we want, and then burns us...the moon doesn't deceive, it smiles down at us in the dark...subtle in its glow, often ignored, but willing to give that bit of light to those whose hearts feel the shadows too heavily.

Lovely review, thanks Jacob
The hot sun can be hard on us. Need the suntan lotion. I like the search and journey in the poem. I'm old and I still don't know my place yet. I believe we need to row with the flow and try to enjoy the new day. Thank you for sharing the entertaining poetry.
