Moonbeams

I feel the pull tonight
Tides to shores, astral plains to mortal coil
Obtuse and obdurate
the Perigree spreads unease
it is intrusive, all-seeing and all-knowing
The night carries a luminance
the beams wash across the floor
in shimmering patchwork
I sleep, fitfully, restlessly
knowing that the moon
has my number

Great read over tea on a rainy Colorado morning. Days like this don’t often come along in Denver, so I’ll be writing for the duration. What about you?
Enjoy it for me! I’m stuck in the Cube.
Amazing!
You are too awesome, thanks!
Great poem and image, Brian! Reminds me of Li Po’s poem, “Drinking Alone (With The Moon)”.
I’ll have to check it, thanks!
I love it. Haunting.
Thanks so much, Hobbs.
I think you should stop trying your hand at poetry before you embarrass yourself further : )
Bluuuuusssshhhh
First thing I read this morning. It did not disappoint. 🙂 Beautiful.
This coming from you? Awesomecakes.
Favorite line…I sleep, fitfully, restlessly
knowing that the moon
has my number
Thankyaahhh!
Great rhythm in this one.
Glad to see more poetry coming out of you…
Thanks, brothah! Working on it.
Evocative poem, Brian, and I love the ending: “I sleep, fitfully, restlessly
knowing that the moon has my number” It is such a great line, could even be the hook for a song
*blush* Thank you so much! Glad this one resonated with you all.
Great!
Great to see you, Paige! Thanks.
I love the rhythm of your heart-to-mind prose.
Resa! Are you breathing? 😉 And thank you so much!
Gasping! I can barely wait for the time and the perspicacity to blog again.
Fantastic piece of writing Brian.
Fascinating! Love it! Thank you, good sir.
Beautiful poem, wonderfully descriptive 🙂
Thanks as always, Ms. Booth.
The picture fits perfectly with the image you’ve conjured with this poem. Really wonderful! I think this is the first poem I’ve read of yours. Color me impressed.
I haven’t posted many poems, so there you go! And thanks. *grin*
