~ My Orange Moon

 

 

Thou shone so bright,

The night of full moons, in me;

Shall I ever be upon these clouds

To follow thee?

 

Shall I be there, when it’s that day?

Where could we mourn better,

Than with our hands folded,

On these unexpected stairway’s?

 

And where could I be taken?

For the days, are more beautiful

When surrounded in grey’s,

Let me absorb you in my vast body…

 

To observe thee, in the most occult nights,

I embrace thee with my invisible sight

Thou shall not pass, the forlorn darkness

Before I was there, I knew your light--

 

It was so fast, and high,

I could reach out the scale of pain,

Just to reach your top, up there--

Let me dwell in the glance of thee, fain

 

From a distant relieve, I shall salute,

The longer passages of time so brute,

Now wait me, for time is blank in so many forms;

And color me, through these heavy chained storms

I often feel that your poetry should be declaimed from a high podium with all the relevant gestures by an exceptional actor with a voice like burnt whisky in period costume. This is no exception. A remarkable write full of rich layers and fruity phrases.

Sigh... thank you Ken, dearest friend, for your support always, it means so much to me. When I'm totally better, i will bite into your work :D can't wait...

A beautiful piece, it dives me to think of having faith. Nice!

Thank you my captain, for always navigating on my page... truly, I suck in reviewing lately, (busy life, and illness in between) but I'm back soon for your ship, and the crew of words ;-) love and hug!

[captain]

Ofcourse I do... :)

This is beautiful Elisa. Love your style and way with words here.. The last lines...

My astrological sign of Cancer refers to me as a "moonmaiden", a child of the moon. I've always been fascinated by it, and this poem definitely snared my attention. You are a poet by heart, Elisa...everything you pen has a way of moving your reader.

Such a lovely presentation, too. x

I knew it, you're a Cancer too? :) that's shows up... my dear... me too. I"m a child of the moon, and out of my birth date also a child of the Sun, (Natsuko) Summerchild... and it's weird to live with two close extreme contrasts.... :) So love your detaild review here dear. I can't thank you enough my bestie! xxxx much love, and till I give you full power back!

[Kelly Scheppers]

Oh, how funny! That's wonderful! I'm going to email you right now! : )

Oohhh! cool, I came online for you dear :D just checking my inbox xx

[kublakhan27]

Dear Eli, you have an uncanny way of keeping everything in perspective...your reflections on all things life and beyond never fail to take my breath away...the slightest hints of darkness appear here and there but you fight them off with gentle but assertive imagery...the first stanza was incredibly moving, and it made me think of dear friends and relatives who have gone before me...after I read this poem once, I went back to that first verse and was close to tears...beautiful poetry from a beautiful person...love you sis :) xo

Sweet brother, I can't thank you enough with this one, you made for me... you always humble me in the highest forms... really, I'm just a shy and humble woman, really... :) and I'm so pleased you saw all this in it... you're one of a few, who can read beyond my meanings... for that you're family love... xxx till very soon!!! hugs!

[kublakhan27]

You know you mean the world to me, and you don't think I'm shy and humble? haha ;) We are most certainly on the same page (no pun intended haha)...we are kindred spirits, we are family...love and hugs to you, talk to you soon (((hugs))) :)

You're truly family, and thank you for your patience, with me, for I know how rushy it can be here on the cafe, and you suffer from it too.... ;-) relax, and enjoy I say always... hugs my bro! till very soon x

[jacob erin-cilberto]

sounds like old time poetry here...the style...a nice echo of the past...and yes, that moon is so beautiful...never stop admiring it..for sure.

Thank you so much my friend, always happy to see you, it makes me better...

[Robbie~xoxo~]

Oh this is mesmerizing... a dark nebulous cloud of obscure thoughts entangled within the yearning...
Observing the mystical moon has never been more enchanting than this!!... what hides the passion?...what hides the pain?...it's all a beautiful mystery indeed!

You have weaved another masterpiece... perfectly penned, Sis!~xoxo~:)

Ah Sis, who can understand it better than you... truly.... lovely review, and hidden brilliance in your words too ;-) xx

[MOON]

Beautiful write , orange moon is something special and so your words!

Thank you so so much my sweet friend! :) be back for you as soon as I can... xx

[Jack...]

Enchanting was your beautiful work this morning my sweet friend. This poem is extremely appropriate to me as this morning of the full moon where I live I was greeted by a bright orange sphere amidst the stars, which in the past I have not seen in the setting moon. It was absolutely beautiful as is your dream-like poem today.

Thank you so much Jack, sweetest, really I looked yesterday out of my window, when I woke up, the same time as now... and the moon was Orange, I remembered I wrote in May about the same moment, it's the second moment I catch the moon like this, and it has to do with many dust particles swirling in front of it, that changes the color... so interesting, thank you always for your support, and I'm soon back dear.
