#poetry for my love

Unconditional love isn't a free pass to hurt me.

Don't make the mistake of being so understanding and forgiving that you overlook the fact that you're being disrespected.

The two top images above are pictures I took of the moon when it was full, bright and full of life.

The two images below are poems, and my best attempt to depict the moon's beauty in the loveliest words I could muster.

The poem is dedicated to my wife, who like the moon, expresses her beauty in the most profound ways.

And it's strange because before this, I never saw myself as a poet, able to create poetry but something sparked within me after seeing the moon, powerful and seductive, maybe a calling from the universe, or inspiration from a higher power, divine intervention, or whatever caused it, something within me sparked (I feel it's important to mention before gazing up at Luna, in all her grace, I was weighed down with depressing thoughts, and using words of self-hate against myself because of the meltdown I had previously, which caused a great uproar within my home among my family members, and I hated myself for causing unneeded problems.) but afterwards, all of my fears, sadness, anger, and frustration were washed away by her luminous light, releasing me of negative feelings, as if to tell me, everything is going to be alright.

And that's when the poem sprang from my mind, into words.

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]
