poem: wonder – 20/12/21

on December 20, 2021December 20, 2021 By Lauren M. Hancock 3 Comments

I don’t wonder about the beauty of the moonlight I never question the luminosity of the stars what they mean when they’re together burning up in arms I don’t want to see them fall shoot across the sky because they’re already perfection in stationary twinkling searing being diamonds slicing the serenity of my eyes as I gaze into the epiphanies of my solar tides I can be without existing so it seems in this world, creation of myself affirmations I use as treatment my words treasure the ephemeral nights lit by haunting future days [...]

Poem: wild dance – 11/11/21

on November 11, 2021November 11, 2021 By Lauren M. Hancock 4 Comments

I dance with my heart in the moon’s mouth he treasures it gently, carries it lightly never will he drop it because he is divining surely total ineptitude I sit here hands open wide and smile give me my heart back I speak with earnest he shakes his head a little while and sighs and relinquishes as he views my desperation to once again be in pure contemplation in recipient of my beating heart filled with fervour and pace like a startled rabbit I need it I want it he hands it to me reinsertion: my heart begins to race [...]

Poem: Luminescent – 02/05/21

on May 2, 2021May 1, 2021 By Lauren M. Hancock 3 Comments

The Moon in all his glory, pale, craggy, yet luminescent, he smiles down upon our Earth as though in a parody, a soft spot held for us, and meant. The Sun, she tries to jostle with him for pride of place in the sky, I laugh, shake my head to myself, I don't bother to ask her why. They can and do co-exist, but one's more prominent than the other, I don't have to, [...]

Poem: Eclipsed – 30/08/20

on August 30, 2020August 30, 2020 By Lauren M. Hancock 6 Comments

You eclipsed yourself onto my heart, etched yourself amongst Sun and stars, a silhouette of burnished red and brown, a luminescent glow of you all around. Your pattern, your shape, my mind recalls, the beauty of your face, your expression, I’m in thrall, and I remember the smiles we shared, so many days and [...]

Poem: A Lasso on my Heart – 15/08/20

on August 15, 2020August 15, 2020 By Lauren M. Hancock 5 Comments

I’ve got a lasso on the moon and I’m holding him so close to me, his glow causes me such excitement and trembling, because my hold on the moon is tight, though it is gentle enough to be kind, and I know that our love for one another, it is spectacular, it feels utterly right. [...]

Poem: A Moon’s Search – 18/06/20

on June 18, 2020June 18, 2020 By Lauren M. Hancock 1 Comment

I stare at the moon, she is full and round as you can see, beautiful, chubby smiling cheeks, glowing luminescence, she is so free. She travels through the night hoping to gain her sought-after company, Sun, Sun, Sun, when will you come, and make this moon feel so complete? She requests you [...]

Poem: A Loyal Sun, a Faithful Man – 19/01/20

on January 19, 2020January 18, 2020 By Lauren M. Hancock

Hey, let us not be so hasty, let us not be so rash. Instead, let us flow with the sun and the wind entwined as one, woven with thrice strands, a plaiting of joyous warmth, breeze, and cheer neatly entangled by a pair of deft, invisible hands. I admire the sun for the [...]
