Moonlight Eyes
Villanelle written by Gabriella Reti
I’m lost in your moonlight eyes
Reflections of a world we’ve built
I want it all, lagoon and rise.
I hope we can reach all skies
Fearful touch dictates the lilt
I’m lost in your moonlight eyes.
In depths of you a mirror lies
Showing me a lump of guilt
I want it all, lagoon and rise.
You wanted me without your ties
Embrace me fully like a quilt
I’m lost in your moonlight eyes.
I know how I look at times
Far away it makes such thrillth
I want it all, lagoon and rise.
I was under the weight of lies
Near the end it got me tilt
I want it all, lagoon and rise.
I’m lost in your moonlight eyes.
About the Creator

I write from lived experience, but never in straight lines. What happens in life becomes metaphor, atmosphere, and cinematic story on the page — layered, interpretive, and written for readers who know how to read what remains unsaid.

The Fire I Built After The Fireworks
I recognized him immediately, because I used to be the one looking at the sky instead of building a fire. Back then, I knew every kind of brightness except the one that lasts. I knew how to chase color, noise, applause, the sudden rush of being wanted somewhere, by someone, for something. I mastered the art of mistaking motion for life – of letting flashes of joy convince me that I was warm, charismatic, even while I was freezing underneath them.
