Pixie Dust

Tonight i know the moon to be God

and i look to him to bring me news of you

How do the tears lie across your cheeks

as you dream?

Do visions of me dance behind your eyelids

as you slumber?

Am i a firefly?

Am i a tiny glowing speck of gold

you hold out your hands to catch?

But then again, i am no more than dust

A plume of fading nights

   sifting, sifting

Falling through your beautiful fingers

in an instant or less



But no, speak to me if you can

Tell me of forever spent held against your breast

Of shiny things

that part your lips and mine

Of gathering the dust up off the floor

To imbue your skin with flecks of gold

To treasure for countless ages

to last, to last

to wither the barren test of time

Oh speak to me of this tonight

and lend my derelict heart a piece of comfort

Oh speak to me wherever you are

A tear under the watchful eye of the moon

For tonight i know God



i know you

WOW this is freakin awesome. i just don't understand how you can write such beautiful poems... you amaze me! is there a certain place/time you usually write? how do you get ideas for poems? i gotta have some details! i probably sound like an obsessed little girl or something...i'm sorry!
