moon

My most recent.
and rather heartfelt........

Not all can get the moon,
She's bright,beautiful
and enriching like some mountain spring,
the elixir of life;
and all the stars in the world
fade in the light of her face.
Yes, she is something which shouldn't have
come to the earth.
The envy of a thousand princesses,
lovely. the desire of Gods.
And yet, for all she is,
She is, but in my head.
Real, and still she doesn't exist.
An image, idolized.
An ode to perfection.
Yes, she is not true;
but a beautiful lie
I have spoken to me.
A moon that is mine
but which I can never have.
