Moon-Milk Eyes

Blocks of grief in a catchy beat

By Melissa IngoldsbyPublished 4 years ago • Updated 4 years ago • 1 min read

moody sinking beats,

My darling Moon-Milk-Eyes,

Dearest love,

Your diamond sparkly blue hue that radiates against your brown,

Such a haunting, frozen wasteland of time we left between us, Moon-Milk Eyes.

Where does the time go when we lose it,

Does it expand, escape, burrow into our tears or hoist up our hearts like a damaged puppeteer?

I take these blocks of grief

I try to build something with them

With your silence and your

Fears,

I try to build something with our mystical and deep connection,

That fell through my fingers like sand

As a menacing dark raven

Lurked in the moonlight

Calculating how to kill me inside.

I close my eyes and see your milky soothing, blue tear drop eyes,

As wide as any moon or ocean,

As bright as any star,

Divine and graceful,

Blinking stardust into the earth’s atmosphere,

And I pull you

Into my very breath,

My heartbeat,

My bloodline,

You sink into my bones,

And I hear our eternity

In a reply,

A stacked up bunch of blocks that spell out grief,

In a catchy, moody beat.

Love,

Your secret admirer
