The Moon Is Blue

The moon has eclipsed my face Expressions lost upon the relevancy Of each personal strife that I encounter Bleeding throughout my tender heart Hurting though the moon is blue
…not red
And it covers my face with precision Loving nature comes forward But helps nothing, and my heartache I feel so alone, through the tears The fountain depicted of pain Shouting over the noise Of the whistle Cat call Storming around And allowing the rain To wash away nothing but The tears that flow so strongly Master and slave await their orders Both enticed By their loss of What to become between their own selves Their identity I feel the wolves running Coming with ferociousness As they are hungry to eat flesh A truth self-enticing towards nothing Noted upon the moons face But the blueness Of its cold Loss

Persistent heart grief is soul's sign of growth in wisdom my friend, Russell! I might post my comment as a Monoku if you think is something worthwhile! Excellent free verse poem my friend!

Reading this poem, it feels like you have depicted pain, and fear that persist-- and nothing seems to help. Help is always around the corner--sun glows orange red tomorrow--good work, Russell!
