I hold my tongue, you hold my heart....

I wrote a poem on the forum I thought was closing down. I haven't recieved much feedback. I hope for more on here, but my hopes are not high.

Tonight the universe shines
and sparkles with so many stars,
and my mouth swallows ladles
of moonjuice poured
from the Big Dipper.
I am star-drunk and dizzy
collapsing on my bed of pebbles
in skin and freckles
and nothing else.
I am a wood nymph tonight,
and the branches creep across the sky,
scratching and tearing
like a child with a tantrum
because that other girl's dress
is prettier than hers.
No one knows I am here
but the whistling reeds
and the song-heavy stream,
so full of lingering music it encounters
as it winds through the land.
I am a nature child tonight,
and the crickets and frogs serenade me
and lull me to sleep.
I am milky white like the moon,
green streaked with leaves,
and smudged brown with dirt
and long straying hair.
My two earthstone eyes gaze up
at a canopy of diamond studded silk
and with beautiful music around me
I sleep,
a wood nymph,
a nature child,
the richest girl in the world.

....I'm going under and you're staring straight into me.
