it was just a little moment
you had me crack open
and tonight i was hoping
for another one with you
like sitting in a garden
like a heart unhardened
the curling of petals
for one night alone
all things come in two
lovely days shine so bright
but the warmth and the love
deliver on lonely nights
when i'm only a half
a joke with no laugh
the woods with no path
but just the lonely moon
do you have nights like these
get lost in the trees
and cold forest breeze
or only me

Good write Gon.
thanks orchidee
'but the warmth and the love

yeah, just so relatable
its crazy to think
some people, are so desperate
whenever they're gifted
a laugh or chuckle
they'll choke it back, quickly
as-if to save it
for
those nights, they'll need it
just to get from midnight
till, they finish counting
satellites
as stars
cos, that's all they've got left
to limit how much fear, seeps
into their dreams...
(a great read and an important theme
thanks for sharing, dear poet)
lovely reply l.b. as always. and yea i was a little iffy on that joke line but in hindsight it's the best one i think.
A brilliant expression Gon. Once you've been paired, and coupled rightly, it's not the easiest thing to be only half of a whole. The crazy thing is that there are times as well that even as part of a whole, together yet also feel lost and alone. It's quite a curious thing. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for saying that and for reading bard. I always appreciate your comments.
