#279 the moon is ripe again already

the moon is ripe again already it seems like just yesterday you turned away and goodnight i waved but here you are again venus has left you icy and pale your dusty smile hides eons of pain cursed to die and be born again every almost thirty days never enough time to love in return always the ashen object of desire never the warm touch of commitment only the lewd howls of wild lunatic gratification forever you light the secrets of myth and longing the eternal voyeur your heart breaking with each gasp and lovemaking you can only reflect not radiate it is all someone else’s not yours you long for release but you are pulled closer as you struggle to escape the seas your sole unrequited love need you their rising and falling not enough to seduce you yet you cannot give them up so you spin and spin endlessly you turn and turn again and again and i will be here i understand and we both know there’s nothing we can do soon you will decline then swell forever miscarrying your infertile womb still keeps it’s secrets only you know what love really means it is absence that defines what you are meant to be epw 1.24.08 perrysburg, oh
