A Bit of Advice - Willow

Never trust the moon,

for she lies and deceives

with no mercy,

leaves you breathless 

under the turmoil,

makes you 

drunk

heady

mad

crazy

on her.

She weaves and tangles into

your silky soul,

making you question

your own echo.

Perhaps, only a fool

would love her.

When day idly comes by,

you’re left with nothing, but

a star shaped void

where your heart should be.

Yet I’ve always been bad at

following my own advice.

Don’t fall for the moon.

Bio: Willow is a self-proclaimed writer and chaotic poet, she devours books and loves the moon and her tides. She tries to capture this helpless feeling of freedom in her prose and poems, sometimes to no avail, yet she hasn’t given up. She is currently working on a collection of creation myths, depicting all forms of Love.

Commentary

No wonder the Moon has maddended mankind since his first foot on earth. The clever analogy of the moon and the advice to not muse upon it, have been used to set up the final message - rely on yourself.
