i planned to do a drawing today
but a dream seeped in through a button hole
and brought the constellation
the broken moon
and the river along…

so
i made a sandwich with them…

and i’ll have a half for my lunch
and the other half for my dinner…

: )

tis close to dusk
and the stars started to come out

he wrote a poem in his head
as he walked down towards the river
about a lion and how he ruled his jungle

she painted a dream in her head
as she skipped towards the river
about zebra stripes and button holes
where the dreams seeped in and out

when he reached the river
he saw his face in the water
and felt all mighty and proud
it stared right back at him
strong and with king’s eyes
even the river couldn’t wash it down
with wildest currents and tumbles

when she reached the river
she was drunken in its sweet fragrance
its mango scented love story
sang to her with prussian sky background

the constellation took its seat
and a symphony dressed the night
against deepest indigo

the moon sat at its piano
shiny with silver glow
but the moon was broken in half
and wore its sorrow
in slightly tinged alabaster

he looked up
and found the half empty moon
plucked it from the sky
and put it in the pocket
over his heart
“i’ll fill the other half for you”
he said to the moon

she looked in the river
and found the half full moon
scooped it out of the water
and poured it in her heart
“i’ll grow the other half for you”
she promised the moon

and the moon grew full again…

    I read the words time and again,
    ‘bout the man, the moon, and his friend.

    The words seemed to fly, so profound,
    yet each time I stayed on the ground.

    It’s true liquor’s addled my brain,
    and I’m not really sure what remains.

    Or maybe you think, what’s he smokin’,
    he’s havin’ no thoughts, just provokin’.

    But I really don’t get what you’re sayin’,
    are you sure you’re not only just playin’.

    With weak minds like mine, to have a good time,
    ‘cause that’s not playin’, that’s dismayin’.

    Your friend, Mr. Sensitivity

    thank you for the invite to read this beautiful piece mimi – beautiful, flowing, visual

  • mimi yoon replied

    thank you dearly dar for reading…. and for your kind words… kinda wanted you to see how i described the difference between the thoughts of a man and a woman (on a same subject)... : )

  • DarKarsean

    DarKarsean

    hi mimi – I’ve read this again so many times in the last day and I love it even more each time. There are certainly differences in the thoughts of man and woman . What surprised me then was that I identify more with the woman than the man in your beautiful piece. Even in saying that, I am not too sure whether I am surprised in myself or not. Beautiful work.
