I just got off the plane
heartsick still feels the same
needing you more than yesterday
my sleeve is wet with rain
concealing well my pain
I’m needing you more than yesterday
grasping for reasons why
raising questions to the afternoon sky
and I’m needing you more than yesterday
already tried running away
your smile beckoned me to stay
I’ll always need you more than yesterday

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!
