A blue moon is a rare orb.
I prefer mine common and mellow.
And in such light,
I would take You,
Darling,
Slow... and... easy...
Lest our sudden, mutual combustion
Leave nothing
But nameless black Cinder.

name this nameless moon this sapphire blotch in our starlit sky, take it and sink it in inky blue desire, pluck its supple flowers with pale translucent lips and suck their sweet nectar of love, lay me down on its crescent hills seeped in shimmering moondust and name me too. call me darling, call me love. wild and windblown I’ll camp down on this earth near you, so close to you I will see you move and cloud me gently devour me take over everything that is mine and then, as you outshine us both - me and this dreamy nameless moon, I’ll ache for you in afterglow.

Your setting sun Is rising for me. My setting Moon Is rising for you. In the cold morning, I… In the warm evening, you… Set out to watch Our belovèd orb Cross Earth’s shadow.
Climbing the highest Place I can reach Near home (The metal stands Of the local sports field), I catch but a Glimpse Of shadow —Like eyeliner— On the upper limb, Before the Moon Is tangled in bare Winter branches As it drops behind First Watchung Mountain.
You, meanwhile, Are by the lake, Watching the Moon Rise from the Western Desert, A picnic set out, And the crowded sounds Of a busy summer night All around. You’ll see the whole show, As the Moon turns From buttery disc To ashy cinder To glowing coal And back again.
Your sky isn’t my sky, Nor is my earth yours. Yet we are linked, Sharing Sun, Sharing Moon, Sharing words. Half a world apart, Linked As friends.

Ten thousand miles
Between us
Threads of photons
Connect us
Streams of heart words
Inspire us
Unsought blessings
Enmesh us.

My Australian Muse and I are reading the words of you and sealanehill to each other. She stops and says, "Oh Adam, I think they're like us". I don't really have anything to ask, but I think it's worth saying.
aww <3 thank you for that.
Well, I am learning a lot from @sealanehill and it’s a friendship I enjoy.There is much musing involved, sure :P
