Shooting the moon

Shooting the Moon

Oh moon

What have you done?

Collecting penalties 

On captured hearts. 

Discarding them

Once again.  

Placed aside

Till some later time

When they may serve 

Your purpose again.  

You are no better than a common thief

Betting on tricks in 

blackjacket. 

Playing hearts for fun. 

Know this dear gambler of mine,

The Ace of my heart

Will not be played

So easily. 

Perhaps that was what you wanted,

all along.

Oh Moon

Oh Moon Oh Moon I wish that I Could offer up to you Comfort    in your agony What I wouldn’t do for you Powerless am I  And may only off up My prayers and incantations That will never be enough Your weary shores Hold back your tears Oh strength and fortitude Hand to me your soul’s despair I will cry them all For you.

This

This Striking my heart strings  In such a way Brings much hope For joy to stay Casting eyes  Cloaked in jest But you know I want You the best I love you, I love you! I long to say Bridled and silent I can not play Ripped and torn  Inside my chest Tear off pretence And me undress Say you love me Say you do All I’ve ever wanted Was you.   DRH Copyright Donna R Hedges 2021
