Hope keeps us going on our journey, no matter how many storms we weather.
Forbidden Love
Lunar tickles light n'
embraces Sacred Oak's
bare branches
Lunar swims towards night owl perch
as Oak scribbles love notes
soul's cross illuminates the sky
Oak speaks of velvet purple mountains
red Cardinal's feathers
n' dandelion wishes.
Jealousy rained on Oak's green penned poems
Hurricane Mariah bent his frame
he snapped into fragments.
A man came-lugged him away
Lunar cried pearl tears missing
his board bare shoulders.
Man carved Oak's trunk
to sail blue's labyrinth haze
Lunar discover Oak and mirrored light
to wash over him-together again.
Quicksilver flash captures their love
but
salt wore out his bow
Landlubber again.
Another man bought scraps
serenaded by the sea-LM and SO had secretly eloped.
Man carved a walking stick
to witness celestial ballet-but no
an Oak wood umbrella
to catch Lunar's Swarovski crystal tears.
A famous poet tends their
children, in her moonlit garden.
She keeps Lunar's and Sacred Oak's secret.
Green stars perform lullaby in a clothesline of blue
-as proud parents watch.
