The Man and the Boy on the Moon
by dollwithafrown

Midnight lights and blueberry skies
match the smile on your face
and the twinkle in your eyes.
Forever we sit there, thinking out loud;
between the neon stars
and the golden clouds.

But I grip onto your hand as I'm afraid to fall;
the world may be ending and we won't know at all,
but for now that's okay, I'll take it in my stride,
because there's nothing more precious than a father's pride.

You try to play music, but it doesn't seem to work
and even though you're angry, I can't help but smirk.
You notice and laugh, it doesn't matter today;
this moment between us makes it up, perfectly.

Your hands are like rock heads, old and disguised
and mine in comparison is little-boy sized -
but held together like a heart, we're one in the same;
by blood, by bond, by skin and by name.

Blueberry nights and midnight skies
match the twinkle on your face
and the smile in your eyes.
Together we sit there, grinning out loud;
between the golden stars
and the neon clouds.

The poem subject isn't really about the moon itself, but rather a father/sons' relationship. The whole concept is supposed to be about the moon being their special place, which tightens their bond. I hope this is okay. :)

Can I please have "Sun"

pleaseeeeeeeee and thank you

*EDIT*
Actually, I would like Stars please. ^^

I would like stars pls :)

^Thank you Midnight sun. I like your name to.

Thanks Mask! :) And no problem Luna, I totally understand. Look forward to everyone's posts! :D

Can i get comets please?

Could I have comets too?

Awesome everyone! Only 3 spots left! :)

Sparkled Skies

Look above, to sparkled skies
A comet shot by arrows
To the east of the moon
And to the north of the trees
A comet's shine dazzles

The tail so white of melting ice
So close to the suns intense heat
Starts to wither away a little
Until darkness starts to fall
And leave us with that empty void

But as the skies begin to brighten
With the mornings dawn
I will know the comet is alive
In spirit more than reality
For it showed me more than shine itself

Come Crashing Down

People talk about Princes
on white horses, waiting
to be swept away....
I'm fine with you my dear
and I hope we can just stay
here on this marble floor
glancing at the chandelier
Your soft hands cover my eyes
and you whisper
"I'm never gonna disappear"

I don't need a falling star to
make my wish upon....
Become my comet and come
crashing down on me.
Rock the world, shake my heart
and you'll know this is
where you should be.

I've had my fair share of
rainbows with colors galore
so many broken pots of
gold, I don't want anymore.
Enough stars in my closet
to keep it lit for years.
Done too much planet surfing
I'm better off here

With the heat of your
passion burning bright
as you hold me like forever
it seems we will be okay
just you and me. All I ask
is that you be that glowing
comet in the distance
crashing down on me tonight.

*Hope this isn't too long*

I'll try planets , can't gaurentee I'll get a poem in on time but I'll try my best .

Great job guys...keep up the great work :)

My one and only friend
by Mask of Pain

I look up in the sky and you're always there. behind same clouds, or just hinding from everyone else. When I cried every night you where there, the only thing that was bright in my night. When i had noone to talk to , I would talk to you, then I would imagen you would talk back, saying everthing will be ok. But when day came you where gone. I had the day for putting you away. You are a dear friend, you are my moon.

* I hoped you liked it.*

I'd like to try this one :)
If I can't complete it due to personal reasons, I'll let you know but I'm totally interested.
I would love to try sun, please.

Thanks for joining Ashes :) Hope you're able to get one in! One spot left ppls!!! :D

Anyone for the last spot?!

Slave of Her Kingdom.

She is getting tired;
she can feel the intense pressure --
she does the same thing everyday;
the days and nights all seem to blur.

She can hear the demands
of the millions of voices --
she is allowing them to live yet
no break is given; too many choices:

here, they awaken first;
my rays must shine there quickly.
Here, its December;
my rays mustn't hit powerfully.

She is getting tired of
the routine that is her life --
the seasons are too much to handle,
the weather and the people, a strife.

The weary sun is simply too tired,
she wants to think of herself, but a slave
she is of the planets and animals --
her freedom she can only crave.

Thanks Ashes! Great job! :)

One spot left people! Time is running out!

I'll be judging in a couple days!!! Thanks for all the entries!! :)

Have you found a winner yet?

Do you know who has won

So sorry guys! My comp got a freakin virus. I'll try and judge tonight. So sorry for the wait! :(

It's ok , my the computer gets pretty slow.

I feel sooo guilty that I never judged. My grandmother died and I had to go outta town for the funeral and haven't been in the poetry mood since her death. I sincerely apologize and will get on it asap. Thank you for your patience and not hassling me about it.

Yeah I agree with her. just take your time> I'm sorry for you lost. :(
