I loved a girl
She wasn’t pretty or fair
I’m not even sure
of the color of her hair
***
I read her on paper
that’s where I would see
a portrait of words
quietly enfolding me
***
A journey of sorts
is where we would go
nowhere had limits
places high- places low
***
I loved her because
she opened my eyes
to a world without speaking
no barriers- no lies
***
We never got closer
than Jupiter and Mars
but the fire in her eyes
drew my heart to the stars

Thank you for visiting Moondustwriter. One of the many exciting things I've had the honor of doing is writing and publishing in multiple genres (including education) in E. African for E. Africa. As a writer, it is a thrill to write for children (on all continents) who want to learn.
I've been part of the blogging community for more than 13 years. Some old timers may remember the award winning (2011 Twitter Shorty ) blog community - One Stop Poetry. I was the co-producer of that fast growing blog community.
I am a published writer, poet, artist and photographer. I have written, as well as edited, for periodicals, radio, blogs and fellow writers.
There are many facets to this moon - my joy is in meeting you!
