Moonsong

By Kelechukwu Samuel Ojile



I will sing your name, moonsong

girl with lips of the crescent moon

anchored into the vast blue sky


I will sing your name, moonsong

lyric of the viola, symphonies dawn

upon euphoric hearts, sweetness


lingering yet as the last sound of strings

reverberating, music of lovers

wanting more, staying longer


locked in silhouetted embrace

the new moon watching us kiss

song of new wine; toxic sweetness.


song of stars retiring tonight

I will sing you the moon's song

as a deity to the goddess of


beauty. You are my blessing and now

I have become the sand at the shores of

the Atlantic — waiting for the riverbird
