corner of
the moon,

from the lies
rustling
in your head.

with me,
you are free.

She sweetly

with mystique

grace-
She is
lovely,
she is,

She sees
the serene infinite

nothing more
than a pit for the blind.
a void for the dammed.
She smiles down,
mockingly
cold, and wicked.

baby
burn
in the smallest hours of the day
when hedgehogs
and unicorns are still at play,
you will find Her in the fog
composing odes
to polliwogs.
sit a while, and you may come to know
just what
you need to light your glow,
then move right
along, there are things to do:
the world awaits
the glory
of
you!
flowing serene
across
wave filled sky,
you are not lesser

before eye opened.
before heart awakened.
before path chosen.

fleeting and fickle
like the moon,

a song of empty
greets a soul longing
for more,
stoking familiar-
almost comforting
fears.
a blanket
of caution,
a shield
of doubt;

chest
bursts with songs
of hope.

and the antelope,
and the wind
join in jubilation.
the empty retreats;
love moves in.
murmurs
from yesterday
shape stone,
and soul.
each serene moment
of mystery
inevitably lost
to the next.
continuous, infinite,
and
fleeting.
secrets, and stories I’ll never know,
but still,
a comfort
to this thirsty soul.
