#lunarian

i learned to honour the stars

a place i call home

a place i feel i come

from above

so below

find me waiting, among the flowers

let me kiss your hands

as you kiss mine

feel our hips align

feel our love light the glorious night

in everglow, twilight

in everglow

dear love

that in order to be me

i had to convince everyone

i was worth loving, living, being

and every time i thought about it

a feeling deep down inside

twisted me up, down, all around

left me cornered by surprise

that anyone could like me

that i have to prove my worth

that anyone would care

that i have to do things to receive rightful care

that should anyone try loving

me? well they best be prepared

for i was shown both yip and yowl

nip, soft luscious furs mean, run and hide!

they'll take my tails as trophies

once they trick me with a bag of

crumbs, a side of sweet poison, then is lights

ouch!

for as a kit i was so hungry

ever thirsty, passers by

whether kindness of a stranger

turned a trappers vain delight

ouch! quickly became the main course

poison daggers, stinging deep

a honeybee may give up their ghost

but the venom lingers

to the one the pointy end receives

it's confusing speaking puffer coats

skin, scarves, embalmed, formaldehyde

if i trust in just anything

i might find myself erased

or worse, ouch!! becomes die!!

there's certain things i learn

to watch for as a warning

that the sweet smile of a stranger

signals well ahead this great demise

i trust my intuition

this great glorious call of the

wild

i wish we spoke in

similar tongues, copper, silver, help us clarify

but through the twists and turns we find

and leaving feels bittersweet, the bitter lingers with the left behind

and when you look this good it's hard to resist

i know in what my beauty lives, but as others refuse to see it, that funny feeling hits as it does and

and

both so quickly can become

in uncertainty, these dark and scary times

which time is simply of the essence

it's just old bells and whistles

even those most brilliant clocks

both rot and rust with their silly ticky tocks

why the silly words of such serious subjects, emboldened among the rhymes?

because

so?

if we're all in this together i trust i simply found you here

right now

together

again

and again

in this one, this life, this forever

no need to speak of

i don't wait for hope, i'm living it

don't wait for beauty to be seen, for i am beautifully living

don't wait for words or crumbs or poison, tail pulls, don't touch! ouch! hands to yourself!

but for you dear friend, copper, you old hunting dog if you learn new tricks

here's something left to say to you for now

awooo! akekekekekekekek!! yip yip yip!!!
