Who is…Lilloqui Moon?

Soliloquy~ to speak out one’s thoughts as if alone

Soliloquies~ plural see soliloquy

Solus~ alone (Latin)

Loqui~ speak

Soliloquio~ Spanish translation

Liloquy

Lilloqui

What's in a name

Chosen with reason

Lilloqui

The love of speaking aloud as if alone

Whether there is someone

To listen

To read

Or not

But there is something

For someone in my thoughts

Outside of myself

I never know who

I never know how

I can touch someone's life

With my thoughts spoken aloud

Or written on a page

Moon ~ the Earth’s natural satellite

Visible by reflected life from the Sun

Orbits the Earth at a means distance

238,857 miles

Eight phases of the Moon

Two ways the moon transforms

Waxing and Waning

A New Moon in which we can no longer see

We can't see her heart

Hidden from the world

New Moon in which no one can see

Closed off until she makes the move

To live as a crescent

Piqued her interest

Increased visibility

Held conversations

A random Facebook status

Random Candacisms

Quarter moon looking to you

Starting to expect

And then she breaks

Her gibbous heart or gibbous moon

You don't have much further to go

More than halfway there

Then she falls in love

You have her full moon

Her full attention

Random Candacisms

Not one other person can gain

Her moon is yours to keep

Her heart is full

This type of love only comes

Once in a Blue Moon

Which is the last phase of its life

Her thoughts

Her writing

Her vision captured in a lens

Lilloqui Moon

Moonchild what's your name?

To speak aloud as if alone

While growing

Transforming

The eight phases of the Moon

Waxing and waning...

Lilloqui Moon

Chosen with reason...

Life Is Art

Life is art

Paint your dreams

I painted them purple

Hints of blue

A touch of green

Because that's the way

I want it to be

Life is art

Paint your dreams

I loved you with all of me

And gave it all to you

Every part wholeheartedly

Life is art

Paint your dreams

I let the pen bleed

Let it all out on the page

Hold my hand

Let us take this journey

Look into my life by reading my words

My creation through my 50mm lens

Understanding all that I am

Life is art

Paint your dreams

And live them out loud"

Kismet

Bare witness to a blessing

Came down from the heavens

Holding me up

To the light

Seeing all of my flaws

Still wants to be here

Holds me tight

Showing me everything I needed

Never knew I wanted

Kismet

Kiss me

Holding onto a thought

Of a forever

Forever a friend

Forever a lover

Forever my forever

Listening to your mindless chatter

Excitement of the smallest things

You smile

So I smile

Reminds me of a time

When I was young again

Holding me up

To save me from despair

Knight in armor

No shining

My reality

My getaway from reality

Two teenagers locked in embrace

Locked in a story untold

Will the story unfold

My senior

Your baby

New heights delved so deeply

So quickly

A meteor shower

Of 4 leaf clovers

How'd I ever get so lucky

To kiss those lips

Breathes life to she

Stimulating her to no end

Without so much as a touch

Divine intervention of mind

Bring em out

Bring me out

Into the light

Hold my hand to never let me go

Understanding my fears

To alleviate all pain

Providing a new hope

Make me better

Than I was two years ago

Love me better than ever imagined

She felt the connection

From the first day she heard your voice

Over the phone

Shock and awe

You're the first

To move into her space

Gone so deeply

Looking deeply

Into her face

You see her scar tissues

Of wounds healed

And all you want to do is erase

Never for her to ever be reminded

Of such a treacherous past

To protect

To have and to hold

We keep our distance to a point

Makes everything all better

Like a Band-Aid to a child

And so

The Lion
