The Moon Knows

The moon knows

She is burning orange tonight

like my heart

the sky is a smoke screen

of black, blue and grey haze

obsuring

the stars

where the truth lies

dreams of a lifetime ago

still make me itch

for love

and the blood begins to flow

skin to skin

and i am awake

no comfort in my conciousness

She controls

her own destiny,

but is broken by the winds of time.

mine heart

heals

heaven spent

on soul food.
