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.

And this is a secret, boldly and blatantly painted in the sky for all to see. 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

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!
