So I'm nearing the end of a poetry unit here at school and our final project is to make a portofolio of our ten best poems, so I'm trying to decide if this one should go, tell me what you think, as well as what you think it's about, if you would be so kind.
Lefty, by Max Raden
Have you ever seen the moon in someone else's eye's?
It's beautiful and unbearable but seems to stay only the night.
It happens so fast but lasts forever.
It's terrifying and surreal in a soothing sort of way.
The rush
The thrill
The contradictory screams and inappropriate laughter
A celestial balancing act begetting a secret known to those who have known
A white feather, a red horn, a halo and a pointed tail,
Tonight they share the same body.
All that is, was, and will be
Culminating in this commonly occurring rarity of life.
You don't want to fall asleep,
You can't fall asleep.
Who knows what will happen to the moon.
If you aren't awake to stand guard
The sun might chase it away.
You must stay awake
To preserve the light
To save the terror.
You must stay awake
It's not even full
And the stars have yet to dim...
You can't fall asleep..
But you do.
Night becomes more silent than ever before
All is lost...
But is it really?
When the moon is in somebody's eyes and not the sky...
It will still be there in the morning
