    O, melting moon,
    She drips puddles
    Of light about my
    Feet ...

    Achingly, she lets out
    A tiny groan, allowing
    To slip a sole and final
    Beam

    That will caress my febrile
    Brow, to reassure that ever-
    More I will be La Luna's only
    Love.

    Hello CoCo . . .

    Beautiful poetry . . . I stood outside last night under a clear starry sky with a 3/4 moon . . .

    The moon always stirs us somewhere deep inside . . .

    And then you write this . . . lovely.

    Thank you, Size, for posting your thoughts.

    I've written many lunar episodes, particularly with the bent of her seduction of spiritually wavering souls.

    La Luna has smitten me.

    I always appreciate your stopping by. Have a good day.

    I wish it were original . . . but I've always loved this lyric . . .

    ..................................................

    And each one there . . .

    Had something to share . . .

    They'd all sweated under the same sun

    Looked up in wonder at the same moon

    And wept when it was all done

    For bein' done too soon

    For bein' done too soon

    - Neil Diamond

    Thank you, Violia and Syl, for saying hello. It's nice to "see" both of you again.

    I appreciate those lines of ND's verse, Size. Beautiful words.

    Here's hoping the wheels of mind and heart begin turning once again, causing copious ink to flow upon pages too long blank.

    Love,

    CoCo

    it must be the moon b/c between the poetry and the thread about the folk singer who died, I feel like listening to Leonard cohen.

    I've heard there was a secret chord
    That David played, and it pleased the Lord
    But you don't really care for music, do you?
    It goes like this
    The fourth, the fifth
    The minor fall, the major lift
    The baffled king composing Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah

    Your faith was strong but you needed proof
    You saw her bathing on the roof
    Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
    She tied you to a kitchen chair
    She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
    And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

    Baby I have been here before
    I know this room, I've walked this floor
    I used to live alone before I knew you.
    I've seen your flag on the marble arch
    Love is not a victory march
    It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah

    There was a time you let me know
    What's really going on below
    But now you never show it to me, do you?
    And remember when I moved in with you
    The holy dove was moving too
    And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah

    Maybe there’s a God above
    But all I’ve ever learned from love
    Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
    It’s not a cry you can hear at night
    It’s not somebody who has seen the light
    It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah

    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah

    You say I took the name in vain
    I don't even know the name
    But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
    There's a blaze of light in every word
    It doesn't matter which you heard
    The holy or the broken Hallelujah

    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah

    I did my best, it wasn't much
    I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
    I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
    And even though it all went wrong
    I'll stand before the Lord of Song
    With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah

    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah
    Hallelujah, Hallelujah

    the original done by himself, done by so many others
    Hallelujah

    HOW I LOVE YOUR POEM and the MOON. stare at it every nite i possibly can and made sure my casa was built with as much glass as possible to enjoy.

    enjoy the Leonard Cohen music --- have his tape with the handcuffs on label but talk about X rated. love his music and voice.
