We two together
in the moon, gazing down
on a world fraught with
danger, where as all
the love gone, and the
shadows we made passing
over the hill, old age
hand in hand into
an eternity
of stars.
We two together
in the moon, dropping tears
on to a cold darkness,
let us stay alone
together in the dream
of her silver light.
Watching, watching
the sadness go by.

I feel like this piece describes how powerful it can be to have someone there to support you in life. Such a strong bond and partnership is very rare and you described it beautifully. I found this one to be inspiring. Thanks for writing it!

thanxxxxx so much for reading my work...im so happy u liked it!!!!!!

Loved it! This part totally made it 4 me "in the moon, dropping tears
on to a cold darkness,let us stay alone
together in the dream
of her silver light.
Watching, watching
the sadness go by." I really think this presents emotion really well!
Excellent work!

hey, thanx again. the poem is about escapism from our pain. I think we all have a place where we feel safe. mine just happens to be in the moon!!

Hi Matt: I completely get this one. Its a great feeling to feel insulated against the grief the world offers and to immerse yourself in that feeling of being together against it all. Its that feeling of pulling the covers up over your head again, only this time you're not alone. I love your imagery of the moon toward the end.

I love the whole tone of this one. It's really nice.

thanx so much sisi, i agree with everything u said. Im so glad u could read this poem and take something from it. i love the moon, dont know why, but it seems kind of comforting to me, like a big eye in the sky watching over us. maybe i like it cos its always there and always will be, when so many other things/people leave us alone in life!!again thanxxxx

old age
hand in hand into
an eternity

AMEN...old age is the time, we need each other the most and then only we realise the worth of having a partner as loving and affectionate as she/he could be...i hope i made sense...
