Vaun Moore is my nom de plume for me,22 year old girl living in New York City, trying to make her way in this world. I have never been in love, yet my poems are so deeply personal, that it often leaves one to wonder. I will say this however, I never write about myself, only about people I have met or observed from a far.
I am currently working on my second volume of poems, for personal pleasure, but I hope to build up the courage to seek publication. Any one with info on how to go about it please let me know. All poems are copyrighted.
He said the air was better in Paris.
In Paris we could breathe
Like we never could
Here in the little home I had built.

It has been so long since I've watched you sleeping;
Watched the blue night descend on your body like a thick blanket.
Sometimes, your hair would cast itself like a net,
Snaring your face in fragile, moth-like tendrils.
...
We count the seconds
Where once the hours weren't enough
Silence now forces us too speak
Where once words were to much
...
I met you in a splendor of giggling
Amid summer dust in New York City…
Gulping merriment,
...
