Sunrise From the Moon

Just Imagine.

Light
within my cold
Craters.

Almost ascending
beyond the shadows.

If only
the somber abyss pulled away
to loosen the morning
Colors.

My infinitely battered
body looms
Silently.

Just Imagine.
Inferno erasing
my pale waning.

Burning in suspension
with its blinding
Shimmer.

If only
the orbit broke,
for just a moment,
terminating the line
between dream and wake.

The end of dusk
to the start of day
and I always
Just miss it.

Reasons

Hushed manipulation
Condensed lies
Unfounded evidence.

Always Watching
Through windows
I felt your suspicious pleasure

Though Doorways
I heard your thoughts ravish me

Then Touching

Your too familiar hands
Were titillated by my innocence

I could smell
The perspiration of your perversion.

The Reproductions.

I scream rape
No one listened.

Of Hate.

You said crazy
Everyone heard.

Of Loss.

But I am still here.
Of Strength.

Nice to Meet You

My name is Chandler. 
No. Not like Chandler Bing from Friends. I was born first…maybe not by much but still first.
No, I have never watched the show.  I don’t know which one Rachel is. And I don’t care how sad the series finale was.
Yes, only close friends call me Bing. 
No. It is not a boy’s name. In fact, I was named after a girl.
Yes, really…. 
No. Not like Chandler, Arizona.
Yes I have been there. But I was not named after a city that is known for an annual Ostrich Festival.
Yes it is unique/pretty/different. I didn’t choose my name. But I will admit that my name has started many conversations, including this one with you. 
My name is Chandler Jeanne. And it is nice to meet you.
