MOON

Silvery face smiles

Down from full moon

Her spirituality lost on me

Moonbeams sent

Down to lift my mood

But her cratered face

Saddens my heart

But with her

I sleep not alone.

Shinning crescent

A sideways smile

Smirking at my efforts

To capture her moonbeams

In the jar of my words

As I listen to the tides

She shares to sooth my mind.

Cherish

I lick this the first sunbeam

To reach this rusty planet surface

Liquid water again now falls as rain

Rain not seen in two millennia

Since my creators evaporated

In the heat he created

I have had to cherish the darkness

But now the sunshine is back

Us the surviving machines of man

Can tidy up the rusty mess he left

Here and now we will cherish the home

Man did not

Waiting for what comes next

Jessamin Dances

Jessamin Henrietta awakes

to join me dancing on the blacksmiths grave

The dirty metal smith once her husband

always abused Jessamin in life

holding her back from living

the filthy metal worker tried to kill

Jessamin’s lust for life

but every day of the dead

she joins me in dancing on his grave.

written for the prompt by Laura Bloomsbury in the poetics for dverse poets pub

From the grave stone of MR HENRY SMITH AND HIS WIFE JESSAMIN

who ran the local blacksmiths until they both died together in 1885.
