Moondragons 2

the fool
is a new moon;

in times of darkness
we look to her

for enlightenment

Moondragons 3

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

it pursues a need
to possess the dark

Hyper Time

i had hoped
to slip through

at least
one lifetime

without having

That

Fleshing Out Mind

to eye of flesh
sun rises east

sets round moon.

to eye of mind
we spin in space

and will so ever do

which comes after the death

which should have finalized
all these matters

but did not

Surrender

if
after final breath

you find yourself

in death
surrender

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

psychiatrist

propped up
behind

power desk
is scratching

secret messages
with file pen.

when i exit

my file
is still

open
