Moon.

By Pride Ed

we learn of
celestial bodies in
science,

and i touch 
what is 
considered 

forbidden
knowledge about 
the stars;

the longing of
the supernova
to cover as 

much of
the blackness
as it can in

a moment 
of explosive 
intensity. write

me a song on
the blackboard
in health class 

comparing your 
nature to the
onslaught of

solar winds,
atmospheric
pressure on my

lungs, and
the force of
gravity you

inflict
upon the
bearer of flowers.

tug and pull
celestial seeds
floating in

its own beaker.
attack me.
force me to

answer and
make me 
want more.

ignore my
protest and eat
up the blank

space with
smeared 
fingerprints and

crude words
about my lust in
the dark

and how 
the night sky 
swallowed me 

whole.

    Even tough i saw the the tags and it makes perfect sense, like Katharina i had already embraced this poetry as love for the unknown, a dreamy fascination for the the space between stars. It is a testimony to the poetry that we feel this longing in the poem on multiple levels.

    Thank you for reading, and for the insightful comment! ^_^

Masculinity brushed off the brush with this one, while I myself wish to write one in my own style. Moon, nature, passion, love, even.. it boils down to that - am I right? This read like a hardboiled egg, and I just wish I could take it and make the sky streak with hues of amethyst and she-wolves and shit. lol

    Thanks very much, Tagen! You make very great comments to my work, and once again I am flattered! ^_^ Everything you've mentioned is exactly what the poem means, but it also loosely refers to a sort of new insight one encounters in such. I'm sure whatever you write in response to this poem will be brilliant! You have excellent works on here as well! :D

  • A former member wrote: I left my internet time thinking I might have offended with this comment, thanks for proving me different! The tags made my inner lion roar - what works must spill from your soul/mind..! I read your bio and was so impressed with what you wrote, welcome to Dp, if you are new. Please stick around man!
