Looking up
with tear filled eyes
at someone who
once meant the world
***
empty shallow shell
encasing the place
where a heart once lived
and love poured forth
drip
when did the sun
stop rising on our love?
drop
when did the words “I love you”
become too difficult to say
plop
What did I say “yes” to
so many moons ago
Sadly
there’s nothing left
to shed a tear over

Thank you for visiting Moondustwriter. One of the many exciting things I've had the honor of doing is writing with an E. African team that is developing elementary curriculum for African children. As a writer, it is a thrill to help children (on all continents) who want to learn.
I've been part of the blogging community for more than 10 years. Some old timers may remember the award winning (2011 Twitter Shorty ) blog community - One Stop Poetry. I was the co-producer of that fast growing blog community.
I am a published writer, poet, artist and photographer. I have written, as well as edited, for periodicals, radio, blogs and fellow writers.
There are many facets to this moon - thanks for stopping by.

Tears come easily in a situation such as this. I have seen it others. I have felt it in myself. Truthfully written, Moon, which is why I like this.
