Blue Moon

Divena CollinsThe hues of a blue moon rising On the eve of a brand new year, Sending shadows down to Earth, Forming a pale blue hemisphere. With alluring visions and fantasies, And dreams that will all come true, Mystique charms the young and old, When a new moon is coloured blue. When lovers meet in the moonlight Sweet promises are made of love, While strange atmospheric illusions, Come true,`neath a blue moon above.  ----- Mystic Moon Spiritual fantasies. by shadow of a blue moon, High Priestess chants rituals, `neath moons light Beckoned spirits of love, to enter this night, In a magical, tempting, rhythmic, bardic tune She hath sensual, powers with her pagan chant, Luring, enticing, souls of lovers to arise, `Neath this mystic moon, from the darkened skies, A blue moon, holds this power, to enchant, In mystified daze, she chanted and danced Awaiting visions, of her lost love`s desire, From eternal magic flames, shalt then conspire, Here on earth, with visions of love enhanced. Entwined once again, through a spiritual trance Her lover hath returned, for eternal romance.  -----  Theory in Fantasy Out of the void of space unknown Constellations had just been born, Mythical beasts roamed spheres On a group of stars named Capricorn. These beasts bred, half goat, half fish Thus the Capricorns known birth sign, From cosmic rains from the galaxy, Where they thrived `til end of time. There deep in the midst of moonshine Bore the most wonderful global hue, This moon, quite the largest by far Shone magnificent shades of blue. And beasts of burden in Capricorn Had all turned the same shade too, Hence the sky, the sea., and our Earth From space, are all shades of blue.  back to list |
Lorainne DafneyBlue moon looks like blue cheese all alone, against a black velvet void, you cast a blue halo back to list |
Ryter RoethicalBlue moon o'erhead, staining white clouds, Creating pictures in clouds instead. Crayon sketches on divine blue shrouds. Blue moon overhead. Personal thoughts are their own reward, Conceiving images when allowed, Or just plain old clouds when ignored. Lazy afternoons spent away from crowds, And a canvas across the heavens spread, Thoughts seen without speaking out loud, Blue moon overhead.  ----- Indigo Moon The moon is ne'r bluer than when yer heart is broke Everything is a memory, everything is pain All you want is your lover tae come back again Proving that any time apart is ne'r a joke. You lose yer sense o' smell, yer sense o' taste Times sense slows down, everything takes forever Yet when ye talk for a while on the web, it's never Enough time because there is so much to waste. Reverse yer psychology an only speak when ye must That way 'twill drag the time ye spend chatting And very soon ye will hae talked all morning Or whatever time ye think is rightly just. Ye cannae walk away now, she has yer soul And without her you can never be whole.  ----- Indigo Scenes See blue butterflies flying from the blue moon To say they're hordes or swarms would be unjust A crowd too cruel; more like a glorious gust, Blown by a heavenly wind that will end too soon. The mood is set the sky is blue, but tis day Though we have little time to wait til death Tis no problem at all to hold one's breath When night appears with her unique display. The redness has gone it's dark for just a while Except the stars suddenly have all turned blue The celebrity of the night comes into view That indigo scene makes it all worthwhile. And in the blue light of this night all is still It always was and no doubt always will.  ----- Out Of My Head Tell me, how long have I known you How long will there be a blue moon? You've turned my world upside down Let us hope it doesn't change too soon. Will you still be here by my side, When that blue moon has gone away? Will you be here to see the next, Can I be sure that you will stay? It's not a dream the way I feel, A feeling I don't wish to go. If this is madness let it be I wish it to remain just so.  ----- Unfinished Love When lovers part for a while love's not finished Although the moon is blue it's not the end And with each new life that love extends, For love is like an endless piece of thread. Lovers must part for a while when death calls "La grande extase", the halls where we must wait Until we are called according to fate And then with luck we meet in newer halls. There we must flirt and court and win again Restarting a cycle of love of so many years, Learning through new fears, and so many tears. If only we could remember about a previous then. The love we have is not of today or yesterday But something created by all of eternity.  ----- Zant a Liver  After all this time have you wondered What happens when the moon is blue? Have you seen the path that they walk Creatures that in childhood we knew? As we grew we cast them away Treating them as childhood nonsense Till they became ghosts in our minds Calling it fantasy in defence. But where is the origin of dreams A child cannot create false scenes But can see what is truly there And with young eyes see the unseen. If only our minds could be made Level like fresh clean virgin sand And yet retain the experience That makes living a full life grand. back to list |
Nia WynneThe words are there but just get blown away. Everyday is a rare opal gem, Yet each day is swept out like common stones Pebbling the beach that now, we condemn. What is left are the shadows we once saw Together, now apart by three long weeks, Blue moon of fable and lore's we know Though seldom do stories tell what tears speak. So here the poet in me seeks release For peace of mind shouldn't be a blue moon And friends bring hope in less rare moments, Love then stays when sad songs end none too soon.  Partial to Words II The words are there but just get blown away, Everyday is a rare opal gem, Pebbling a beach that now, we condemn As each day is swept out like stones of clay. What is left are the shadows we once saw Together, now apart by three long weeks, Though seldom do stories tell what tears speak. Blue moon of fable and lore's we draw. So here the poet in me seeks release For peace of mind shouldn't be a blue moon, Love then stays when sad songs end none too soon And friends in less rare moments bring back peace. So hope is found on shores ne'er to cease With words that show the world love shan't decrease. ----- Twin Moons Twin aspires of the heavens Wore a hole in the fabric of time Over the valley of indigo dreams More to attune to the astral designs Only gods and dragons understand why Opulent desires come together so rarely Never more than two orbits may conspire Severally in one moons attire. back to list |
