I always love these challenges. Here’s my poem for the prompt:
the moon kisses
us both; knowing
the white tumuli of blood
at our feet
is ours; in a dream,
I’ve been the meronymy
of ocean to ocean;
I would see the black stars
and their explosions
into a sea of pareidolia
but these dreams
a fidelity of blood
the first of the blinded eye
to see
the bone-white frost
and thorns at dusk
swayed in the
broken trough
of skin like a lonely
venom;
born from father’s dust,
to melancholia whispers,
catch the sun;
light is shunned by
a madman’s lament
in the insouciant Kalahari
flowers
the moon has broken bones
its light on the tree, disembogued
like the in utero petals from
the dulcet Hellebores; our winter
rose.

Here are my thoughts…
Holding The Sunlight
I taught her to catch the sunlight
to hold it in her hands
and let it warm them
with the scents of summer
to let it’s rays shine through
then open her fingers wide
and let it go free.

FEAR NO MORE THE HEAT OF THE SUN
Catch the sunlight
Enjoy its clutch
Keep its warmth
Savour its touch
For soon it will die
Its purpose served
Its welcome embrace
Was unreserved
(The title taken from Shakespeare’s ‘Cymbeline’.)

greetings from LA
time and me
time sits across from me
sticks her dried out tongue at me
i ignore time and ithink about how the Sun catches in his eyes
sometimes the night dwells there too
the Moon interlaced with sparks of blue and black and only a color that God can name
time and i we have this relationship contingent upon
who falls from the table first she’s so wicked mean witch and i almost the same
then i think about him
i think about how those eyes
the Sun has caught and keeps me mesmerized taking my plans away from me
the Sun gets lost and the spider web blue topaz those are
i’m a fool
time laughs at me
she laughs at me
lady time she’s never believed that he catches the Sun in his eyes
she doesn’t want me to know that the radiant ocean of his soul is where i can go
time is a jealous harpy
dry heavy silence
unyielding and she stares
me in my eyes that don’t catch hardly anything anymore
dark
fire out
tired
sometimes we muse at the thought of how he catches
the Sun in his eyes blue so so blue
my eye
my third eye so so extinguished

If you can catch the sunlight
will you share it with me?
We can bask
in warm delights of two
dance in summer’s dreams
laze in happiness
under rays of glory
forget the world woes
and live in today
