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/
