Kisses, Moon, and Stars

A few poems I've written over the last few months. :)

 ~The moon to me demonstrates a concept of faithful awareness.
 sometimes during the day, even when everything is ok,
I look up and there she is
a shadow
pale and distant
but here.
The sun is shining, and everything is alright.
but she just lets me know she's watching.
she hasn't left.
then, at night, when shadows become enemies
and trees whisper angry secrets above my head
She's there. Bright. Brilliant. shinning away the gloom.
pointing my view heavenward. ~

~Walking this small town's empty streets
Wishing the piano would stop playing at me
Hearing the notes blend into tune
The goodbye song i wrote for you

Whispers circle in my mind
Fearful thoughts get out of line
Carefully constructed boundaries
Break as teardrops turn into memories

Dreamers dream a thousand lies
But I've been there too many times
Empty silence i never meant to allow
Silent graves of love gone now

Raindrops and tears like kisses on my lips
Love hate and years have created tiny rips
In the delicate fabric of my soul
I wanted so badly not to tell him no.

Dancing lightly on his feet
Deception comes to rescue me
Lies I won't believe this time
A hope and future HE made mine. ~

~Where are the stars when I need them?
Even they have abandoned my skies
I can't find my way without them!
I don't care what anyone says,
I believe She's watching me from one of them.
I look at the sky every night.
When it's black, I can't help but cry.
I need my stars.
But when they are there,
Millions,
I lay in bed and watch carefully.
If i someday find the right one,
She'll smile.
I miss that smile.
Maybe, while our eyes are locked
for just a few moments,
my heart will be whole.
just for the moment.
I'd have her back.
I'd find her every night.
And talk like she was really here.
Is is a little pathetic to find comfort in such fancy?
Probably.
But I need my stars.~
