Nightflight to Venus

[A repeat of the game I mentioned in my last post. The wordlist was different, though - Flight, moonlight, away, promise, self]

The stars are only

As far as they seem to be

Tell me, would you and I

Not reach them if we aspire?

So much talk, we must board a flight

And promise every self

Not to utter a word

Till our feet are firmly ground

And our hearts fly

Away in the moonlight

And should your honesty shine

And say, the moon is purple,

Well what is it to you,

Its still beautiful, you see

And our feet are ground

The way they should be

And should relativity fail

And not carry us to,

All I know is that

I'd be 'lone without you

So hurry up darlin'

And make this a sweet honeymoon

Live every moment like

You're not alone.

Sincerely yours

Jude

Snakes on my mind

[Wrote using the 4 words - long, intertwine, melancholy and gay, as part of a gag. Not my6 best effort, but here it goes.]

Sitting by the brook I saw

In a corner if my mind

Serpents, playing in the sun

Their bodies intertwined.

Their speckled forms knew no bounds

Their motions gay and bold

The wind whispered in my ears

Things from times untold

Tales of the past are long and wide

Oft with a melancholy turn.

Our bruised thoughts go writhing while

In a golden blaze they burn.

Yours sincerely

Jude

Hurt your eyes

Nobody told me,

This simplistic afternoon,

Some cantankerous old man,

Humming a lone, sad tune,

What it should feel like

Sitting all alone.

Watching the sidewalk drying

When the rain is gone.

And now the bluebirds sing

What the rain left unsaid

I watch the sunshine spraying

All over my bed

I know that you'd be lonely

Should the bluebirds have left

While I'm sitting here only

Hoping you catch my drift.

Now the sunshine's all gone

And the day is through

And all I'd be hoping is that

The moon shines bright on you

And should it hurt your eyes, lover

And make you feel blue

Close your eyes, think of me, lover

And the pain that I go through.

Yours sincerely

Jude
