Silver Waters (A Poem by Silver Moon)
The moonlight shines on silver waters, A man shows his youngest daughter, The slow ripples of the silver water, They sit and watch the brightly lit sky, The moon shining ever so bright, With its vivid white floating high in the sky, The man tells his youngest daughter, A story when his father showed him … Continue reading Silver Waters (A Poem by Silver Moon)
Venus.
I dreamed in Venus a darkness without a place in mistier all-the-dead feet at our bones in our graves the acacia weeps we, like Ophelia, fall then drown but, madness is not without a place the sea waits and severs the white lines of the sun, and leaf, I toe, to rock, to tree and … Continue reading Venus.

Survival (By Devika Mathur) [And Apologies from Chris]
