Draw the moon

 


Could you

draw the moon?

I've forgotten

what it looks like

through

wide-awake eyes.

I've lost sight

of its hopeful glow.

I need to see

what it looks like

when love

flows through.

 

Can you describe to me

the way it hangs

lower every day?

How it makes the air around

appear fuzzy,

as if the clouds themselves

were carrying torches.

Can you describe what you see?

Until I can see in perfect clarity

the image painted

in the cavity when my memory

should be.

 

It seems I've lost my normality,

I can't see the things

that remind me of reality.

All I have is thick black shades

covering my view

and I am drained of all

the colour

that used to

wash through.

Now the stars

are blinking out too.

So, my only light

is the one in my heart,

which is dimming

from its dwindling spark.

 

I've lost my light.

The shine still sits

somewhere close,

I know,

but it no longer shows

in the skies

over these tired eyes.

I need to see it

through your view.

Feel your connection to the moon.

It will show me what love sees,

it will hold me whilst I'm all alone.

 

Can you paint with vivid colour

the world when that moon

sits high above her?

I've lost my four-leaf clover,

the one given

in a dream

by a future lover.

Now I feel darkness

washing over,

all I can do

is sleep

under these

tear-stained covers

and dream, but even in dreams

there is a hole

where the moon should be.
