full moon

I cleanse my crystals

And set them to bathe under the moons light

As all things with power need to recharge

Don't we?

I listen to the wind kissing the branches of trees

Love at is finest whisper

As i prepare my list

Of things to retain and those to release

Your name crosses my mind

And I'm not sure where I should place it

You bring me joy on good days

You remind me of a good read with knowledge

A warm blanket with comfort

And isolation, for protection

All things that my soul cries for when in distress

But you also highlight my insecurities and doubts

You make me restless when we don't speak for days

Pillows filled with tear and energy depleted

But your voice could sooth all of my demons in one breath

I take a gulp of the devil's red nectar

As it floats in a thin stemmed glass

And a single tear releases from my eye

And swims down my left cheek

The decision has been made

I ink your initials on the right page's list

Then set it a blaze while I take a hit from the bowl

Farewell lover, may you find the happiness that you did not see in me. As i wallow in misery.

we cant full appreciate love if we've never felt heartbreak. thanks for your comment.

I really enjoyed this poem elle. I also related to it. When you let someone go because they create negatives in you as well as plusses, it can hurt. You have to be brave, but you definitely take a hit. That wallowing in misery spoke to me. I like the storyline behind this poem and the ambience you created. Nice work.

everyone comes with + and -, but its the balance that matters the most. hae to move accordingly when there is something outweighing...thanks chris

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, love does this to us....i think more when we are younger and unsure of ourselves...the ups and downs of the relationship cause the ups and downs of mood and feelings of security or insecurity.
second line i read as "moon's light"---
i like the juxtaposition of the two feelings embedded here.
