Moon child

Moon child

I wish I'd kiss my lover under the rain, 

an innocence enveloped in coincidence unplanned, 

just bliss in a jar opened as it pours.

Have your lips on mine and for a moment forget their world but ours.

I remember the day.

I, like Alice a mind lost in itself, 

when you caressed my hurt and said you'd make it something else.

I never imagined myself again being a lush fruit, 

a golden brown, 

and ripe to the idea of being the sweet taste on anothers unwelcome tongue.

You made the sun in my days shine, 

and made the cold days I'd felt before less cold. 

Odd because I never expected any of it at all, 

the love, 

and the tears you later made me feel.

My eyes sore every night I'd look up into your moonlit eyes and see none of us.

Made my deja vu feel like deja vu because I'd said I'd quit to start with.

Scared of love, 

I'd writhe in my sleep each time I'd dream of us being more than just myth.

And not be the image now blurry in waters I'd imagined would only deepen.

I was scared to give you a chance, 

I gave you one regardless,

because you came at me with mere words held up like a serated blade you stabbed me in my heart.

And I bled only what I felt for you, when we kissed I swear,

the moon smiled at me in the dark. 

Which is sad because that's all I felt after, 

because each time we spoke it felt like we lived in different places.

We together, 

but still apart.

We created something I'd honestly admit, 

but now the blinds unveiled,

all I see is unfinished art.

I wish I'd kissed my lover under the rain, 

maybe, 

one of us would have been brave enough to assume this Lion heart that started it all again.
