Daytime Moon
I hear the truth resonate in your voice
It ripples through my flesh and pervades my heart.
I roil in darkness
Threading agony along the thread of my desire
Fitting velvet until it becomes my skin.
My eyes steal moonlight
Silver turns to sun. I regurgitate the
Gold in me.
There is a torn flower petal dying in the sun
Outside my window. I close my eyes and feel its last breath.

This beautiful and luscious write reminds me of the power of our intuitive senses, to see the unseen, to be with nature and each other in ways where language is best left aside. Amazing write, Jaya!

Hearing the truth … I already feel admiration for this concept that pervades in a powerful way and perhaps also satisfies a desire that covers so many ambitions of our lives.

Fantastic poem and you introduced me to a new word. I’d never heard of the word roil before, so I had to Google it. It’s nice to learn something new

I love the word “roil”. It packs in so much movement.
