Moon Words
My heart is dilated
The pupils of my soul
Are freshly open, because of you
It’s a kind of madness
I assure you, to be influenced
I fell into you this morning
I clearly didn’t intend to
Be pierced to the roots
**
Bathing in every vein of your inner voice
All day you appear to me
A prize of one’s sanctuary gone
By literary temptation
The journals you left, I read them all
We are two songs so far apart
But I know the words, I created them
A pure happiness to know
**
The jewel of so many years
A sweet flower that was lost forever
Across the continent, I am
A mere bystander and yet
Sometimes, there’s a moon-race
Of how we both dream
On the same frequency
And a split-second after
**
In a different language
Through cultural exchanges
We both murmur the same sentence
Beneath our window into the night.
