Goddess of Horizons

Not too satisfied with this . . .

My lovely goddess of the sun,

how is that you illuminate

the paths I walk, and

glimmer down upon me

with sparkling teeth;

only to leave me,

as you always do,

the curse of the crescent

moon?

This loyalty of mine,

of which has been

pledged to you,

is sprawled on the

dwindling tombstone;

weathered by your

hushed whispers

and exasperated

sighs

How many times

have I

gaped upon you,

while others scuttle

away into hiding

as your weeps echoed

across the land,

yet instead of

fleeing,

I willingly drowned

in the puddle

of your tears

Night upon night,

I sat awaiting your return,

the heroic moment

where you chase away

the darkness of the evening,

reveling in victory

when it happens,

and then lying in wait

once more

for your arising

Still,

I rest beneath

an insulting moon,

and celebrate for

your coming,

but I cannot

help but notice

the shadows

looming in;

more than ever

Author's Note

It's the best I could manage under the jurisdiction of both writer's block and depression; hold back no insults, for I know I have disappointed.

Emotional and poignant, I liked this one Tai. You write from your heart and soul. Well done!

Glimmer down upon me with sparkling teeth only to leave me as you always do. Oh is that ever a Tai line. No this piece isn't a Tai classic but it's still you bro. Keep up the good work.

You're too hard on yourself hun. While it may not be your best, it is certainly NOT a disappointment. I mean seriously... have you seen some of the head scratching bullshit I've posted? Far from 'bad' or 'disappointing' this one is. The third stanza really shines IMO... I think it has the most emotional draw. The ending was to the point. I enjoyed this. :)

Well, self hatred really takes its toll on me is all I can say.

I get it, trust me. I really do.
