is a new moon;

in times of darkness
we look to her

for enlightenment

i do not love the light:
thus it chases me.

it pursues a need
to possess the dark

and will so ever do

Surrender

if
after final breath

you find yourself

in death

embrace it all!

just try
to keep composure.

that's all!

Moondragons 1

regard the moon
not as a world
for physics to conquer

as the adult does

but as one
for poetry
to submit to

as the child did

Freudian Snippet

as i enter
the lady

propped up
behind

power desk
is scratching

secret messages
with file pen.

when i exit

my file
is still
