Love Poem: Moon Light

Written by: Kevin Elmore

Moon Light

the emptiness of this place is absolute
clear of all emotion
there's potential for intimacy
to develop here
space for feeling
and i feel lucid
profound
and everything is suddenly so clear
the night is still
vivid, beautiful, and dead
leaning back against naked concrete
looking up through the roof beams
a reminder of what lies beneath this apathy
graces the sky
diffusing through a gray vapor of cloud
a ghostly orb radiates liquid pearl
and I know, that in this moment even though you're seemingly in finitely distant
this pearl ghost is in both our fields of view in the biting cold, in this
room devoid of presence, via my own
I think of you
gazing out your window
crowded by objects and light
but still managing to be so utterly alone
there are so many thoughts
that could kill me now
but its this one that brings me home
after everything we've done
or failed to do
and even though it means nothing anymore
even though I'm learning to be dead to you
you and I still share the same moon
