The dying red moon

 I have realised how long it has been since i wrote something to you... have the days eased yet in comparison to then

I wonder if summer is as hot as it was and how much my eyes ache to see in awe the beauty of spring once more
The deepened pinkish hue of the blossomed cherry blossoms
The empty streets of winter, how everyone else seems to have something to do always, that has always fascinated me 
OHHH yes i am writing to send something gleeful this time... well hopefully, i don't really know how impactful my subjects can be...

so... The dying red moon (IK IK nothing gleeful about the heading is it)


THE DYING RED MOON OF WINTER 

 Is it amazing to sweetly compare oneself to a moon
Blue and red, dying and yet... glowing still
Holding on to a fading hue of light 
None of the stars that shone blue twinkle in winter 
They are gone, all of them are gone...

Does the moon feel lonely
When the wandering cloud of night covers the sky
Does it feel unneeded, unwanted... alone 
I think it feels lonely, I would know.

The last of the falling snow falls quietly 
Gently the moon slips into oblivion
As if it was never winter 
As if its dark red hue never revealed its loneliness
It hopes...
I hope...

In one summer morning 
A smile suddenly fell on my face 
The stars long departed 
Have now one after the other 
Shining brighter the blue light 

I can't help but wonder if this is how the moon felt 
When summer came along with clear skies 
An undending sea of summer stars.

Sit down and quietly listen

 Raynolds, listen i know you're hurting you smile and laugh but like old rocks you crumble as you giggle Raynolds i love you but you have to love yourself too you speak so lightly of misery you disregarded yourself so much that you dont even notice the depression Raynolds this is enough  You cry when you're alone  how empty and tough To threaten yourself with suicide poetry do you think it alright to want to die for acceptance dream only of you be selfish and care only for you can you tell how much suffering is there you cant you cant and it isnt fair you will die... Alone. and no one your kin  will send you away with songs -: But its okay its alright i don't mind a lonely death I dont mind a miserable end i will smile as i go as fake as it will be this hurt i will never show.

Her, the girl in her smiles.

I. With a voice so low Only my heart can hear  Her... With a smile so daring  My eyes and my soul Close in with minuscule fear... Her... Her vibrant soul, Her uniqueness  And her eyes her eyes... Like the sea at night,  Like the deepest secrets One can never hide  Imbued with hue dark brown Light as it silhouettes  She stares I glare... Frozen without intent Her, this woman that I love This woman beguiling and cunningly smart She takes me where... "The antelopes roam" To a place in her- where I can never be alone. The moon of love resides in her wonderous beauty Beaming and gleaming this heart of mine Greasing to a softness the sweetness of a smile This one I love so ever deeply This one did not take me as a storm... She was the storm, the thunder and the lighting...  This one I love, this one my heart will forever be hers... And my soul infinitely lost in dreams of touching her soul... Her lips and her face She did not just bring love, She came as the...

Why?

 A father smiled and told me I wish I killed my daughters first, So they didn't have to see me kill their mother. His hands were bleeding, from the tight cuffs His face bloodied and eyes swollen  It seems the police had a talk with him... He smiled at me and said When you do write about me Please, tell them I killed myself:  I don't deserve to live, not in anyone's mind. It was a normal spring eve, in the hot sections of Giyani D When a man, Zaza Maswanganye (33) called the police after failing to kill himself... When the police arrived to his house unprepared for what he did not say... "I almost shot him dead, right there and there." Said S.Murena to SABC news. If I look at you and your eyes are red If I face your face and your face is pale, If I say nothing, why are your tears falling? We came here when the trees were full  And the grass housed the things we didn't call home... But we brought our smiles and birthed a haven We had this poetry that almost scen...
