Under This Quiet Moon
Beneath a silver crescent moon,
Where mountains guard the night,
Your hand found mine in silence,
And everything felt right.
The water held our secrets,
Soft ripples kissed the shore,
The world grew small around us,
As I could want no more.
No grand display of fireworks,
No crowded room, no noise,
Just whispered breaths between us,
And two uncertain hearts turned sure.
The sky wore shades of velvet,
Blushed faint with hidden fire,
And in that hush of twilight,
You became my only desire.
If time should try to steal this,
Or daylight pull apart,
I’ll keep this moonlit promise,
Carved gently in my heart.
For love is not in shouting,
Nor roses bright and new,
It lives in quiet moments,
Like this still night with you. 💕

me, me, me
when i read back my poetry it screams “me, me, me” on my screen in bold letters and i can’t shut it up — most days, i cannot make any other words out; i want to throttle a thousand versions of the me gone by, i want to throw myself from a figurative balcony, i want to sink a sword into every pen i’ve held

A Planetary Alignment will coincide with Mercury Retrograde
Double phenomena in the heavens Some people say in jest that the planets have aligned in their favor when life works the way they desire. Were you aware that there are seasons when things do line up in the heavens? There will be a planetary alignment AKA a planet parade, on February 28, 2026.

"For love is not in shouting, Nor roses bright and new, It lives in quiet moments," Loved these lines.
A perfect expression of love wrapped in the guise of Valentine's Day. Nice job, Marie.
