The Bad Side of the Moon

by xTheEcstasyOfSuicidex   Jun 19, 2007


I'm not sure what is up with me not rhyming, but I hope you guys like it.
And. This is about a boy saying the bad side of the moon is the sun. If that makes any sense.
````````````````````````````````````````````

Do not tell the sun my intentions,
I would rather dance with the moon.
I would rather sing with him at night,
Don't tell the sun my convictions.

Mister moon can light a darkened path--
The kind of path that leads to wrong decisions
And he will still sing that softening tune
While holding your hand.

The bad side of the moon, squirms with discomfort;
It is nothing compared to the darkness itself.
The lighting is much too harsh and the promises broke;
The bad side of the moon is simply the sun and it's bad ideas.

We'll sit atop this convicted building of lost discoveries,
As we watch the sun turning into the moon;
We'll set ablaze a fire of dreams, for we won't sleep;
We only want to be with the moon until dawn arises.

    The topic choice of this was really interesting and unique. It's good to read poems that are not cliche these days because every time I open up a poem I am hoping that it's not another cliche poem to read. The non-rhyme was different from what i'm use to reading from you. I did like it and I belive you can pull off non-rhyming poems but I just seem to enjoy the ones by you that ryhme more. The ending stanza of this poem truely blew me away. A great poem which was interesting to read. ~mel

    Interesting choice of subject matter here. It's nice to see a non-rhyming poem from you. The idea behind this was very creative, and brought an interesting thought to my head.

    Keep it up. :)

    I love it :)
    Tis okay...hardly of my poems rhyme.

    The meaning/magic is found in the words and the way you weave them together...and you've woven them together beautifully

    I like your poem because it lacks the rhyming bit..i dont think poems have to rhyme..as long as they have good flow and meaning its good..and yours did..i liked the creativeness and symbolism you put into this poem..keep up the good work.

    This poem is descriptive and I found lot of beautiful metaphors in this piece. Your wordings are great and this is nice with a great lexical power. Max ratings
