The Sun’s Lament to the Moon

The Sun’s Lament to the Moon

By the dimming of

the firelight 

I see a lovely glow

Arising from 

the still dark night

His light to me 

does show

But only in 

the darkest hours

Stolen moments 

before he rests

Oh harsh moon

how can you be 

so cruel

so rare, 

so full my breast

my heart is merely fuel. 


Don’t bring me gentle promises

Don’t mock me with your light

Appearing as 

the answer to 

a cold 

and endless night.


Bright shine 

and beautiful

Ever 

to offer more?

Have I 

broken your cold heart?

Have you cast me 

on your shore?


Oh moon.   

I want you 

by my side,

But I am 

the fiery sun.

The two 

never to collide.


Illusions cast

Grasping rays 

of moonlight

empty hands.

Maybes 

and dreams carried away 

on the heat 

of rising dew

Sun breaking fast.

Anew. 

Renew.

Hi. I'm Donna. I'm pretty new to this but passionate about poetry. I hope you enjoy my writing. I am creating a long-running story line personifying people struggling to understand one another.

Battles

Battles  Standing right smack  In the middle of the fray No time to react So much coming my way Duck dive twist run What are we fleeing from? Life.    At times Pushes right to the break How much more can pile on my plate? But I somehow manage We all do it seems Until the next twister Rips at our seams And when the storm passes We look back with grace And love and compassion and awe on our face Who knew we could do it? Life, we create.   D.R.H. Copyright Donna R. Hedges 2021

The Sun’s Litany

  The Sun’s Litany My light Forever bright Proud and true Would surely know If he was untrue? His words a balm to Desperate ears My body only What he holds dear? Oh heart, emotions be Craving sweet shore Of security Safe arms to pull me close Cherish my heart My essence close Play and laugh With carefree joy Dance our hearth  Not destroy My warmth is strong  to warm us both Our compliment  Will balance out My heat your strength Face as one Our sacred Earth Lest she be undone DRH Copyright Donna R Hedges 2021

Who Knew

Who knew the taste on my tongue would be so very salty. Yesterday’s hurts bubbling to the surface of my eyes. Rain on the inside Rain on the outside. I miss you today Like a wound reopened. Every time I think of you, My heart weeps.   Carry on.   DRH Copyright Donna R. Hedges 2021
