this slivered moon

Past this window descending
lowest edges aflame
by reflections molten
amidst night's deepest black
this arc, this slivered moon,
teasing my thoughts to follow
to the west,
body trembles an empty room
I thought of holding you
courage and pretense abandoned,
a boy again
alone
naked,
falling to the stars.

Craig,

I cannot believe no one has commented yet! This one's a beauty. Even though there is a missing apostrophe again ;) in l.4 (night's), I was completely entranced by your words. Yours, ~Nina

Nina

it seems like such a long time ago we had our first discussion about the use of the apostrophe. I'm afraid that I appear to have learnt very little. Appreciate your comments and very happy that you enjoyed this one. cheers Craig
