Reckless Desire
destiny sits quiet
upon a moonlit lily pad,
damp and cold
atop a lake
of tear drenched memories,
barely staying afloat
lost dreams
broken and whole
shimmer and glow
along the edges
of a current swaying slow,
to and fro
standing in the white sands
of a dark, deserted shore
is a outfit of rusted armor,
a shield and a sword
a lonesome melody sings
a foreboding nights breeze
as one girl’s heart searches
skies, land and seas
beneath the inquisitive stare
of a presumptuous moon
midnight waned succumbing
to the eerie tune
as one star broke free
from monsoon skies
forging a gleaming trail
to find her searching eyes
only to meet its fate
within the tears that fell
as she blew his memory a kiss,
and whispered a final farewell
