My new poem…

“Tears on the Moon”

Drops of tender tears,
fall silently on staring nights.
Bed sheets hold
the weight of unforgettable tears,
each one a whisper of you.

Memories that once were near
have become the enemy of the heart.
Familial places
turn into sites of alienation.
Even the smiles of joy
transform into moments of sadness,
haunting the quiet spaces
where I once felt your presence.

Yet silence seals my lips,
and words die
in the shadow of longing,
unspoken,
carried only by the tears
of the night
that fall on the moon.

I long to speak to you,
to feel your presence near,
to look at you,
but silence blocks my words
My heart lost its way.

I dream of you,
and woke up empty.
Loliness walks beside me now,
the night reminds me of pain & tears:
faithful,
uninvited,
my only companion.
But it is you I wait for.
