Moisture

By Ravenblade

Midnight glistens, dew shimmers from breath
The stars glow, and tears stir the rain.
The petty beauty that we miss
just because we're sad or
ALONE.
Things like radiating moons,
eyeless stars, crying.
The misty clouds about, scattered and scarce
and condensation gathering on grass
dropping beads on the roses
sending down a naturous sensation.

Reminded me of being angry and taking a walk and trying to calm down and then just breaking down and crying and feeling sorry for myself, walking home, telling the clouds and sunset and stars thank you for being the "only" beautiful thing in my life. Well done.

    "The stars glow, and tears stir the rain." Such vibrant detail.. It's so gentle, yet it slaps you in the face. This is amazing.

    i love poetry that ends like this one does... so matter of fact, like the rose you forgot to sniff... like the lips your courage forbade you to kiss like so much that is unknown but apparent
