On the Night – A Collection of Poems
NOVA*LUN*O*SIS
/.nova–loo-no-sis/.
noun. literary
1. the sedation endured in looking at the stars
“she laid back against the tangled black grass, a heavy feeling of novalunosis drawing upon her”
and the stars seemed prettier, shining in your eyes/
if i forget
when i’m older remind me,
darling,
to look at the skies/
if i can ever hold your hand kiss your mouth,
touch your skin,
then i can probably feel the moon/
with you, i could never tell
my secrets
with the Night,
she already knows all of mine/
just lay back, darling, and smell the night with me/
remember me
someone
because i can not paint a permanent scar
as the night has/
kill me now
under this night
so i can die somewhere prettier than all of you/
difficult nights
are saved for the feeling ones
that kind of grieving over the past and dreading the future/
almost reaching for the stars teasing my fingertips but i am not close at all/
the only thing i can think of that is colder than a winter day
is a winter night/
and to the dreams
i have came to embrace you all,
the evil things you bring/
