Be my Moonlight
It’s lonely out today,
My heart is cloaked in gray,
And friends I thought would say,
“Hello”- have passed me by.
It’s lonely out today,
As way leads onto way,
Like stars, the woman play-
With comets in the sky.
It’s lonely out tonight,
Just I and lucid light,
Which flutters like a kite,
Above a gale of dreams.
It’s lonely out tonight,
Yet hope be my moonlight-
Oh! Such a skyborn sight...
Ablaze with silver beams

Thrilling! the dynamics of destiny.
Touched by the temporal clouds
Engrossed with Earth’s circular rhythm,
Thrilling! the dynamics of destiny.
Thrilling! The dynamics of destiny,
See black bodied dragons manifesting
Themselves on the horizon, waiting, nesting,
One bellows out a thunderous growl-
Summoning the rain.
Engrossed with Earth’s circular rhythm
The Sun departs- Moon tears a schism
For this is nightfall’s sweet revision,
She has waited long to show us-
When we listened, when we came.
Touched by the temporal clouds
Their future isn’t more than ours
They gather, part, and trickle down
Into the cradle of our Earth,

Chaser of Joy
A child glares with eager eyes
At his present beneath the tree
Though, waiting till his parents rise
To tear it’s wrappings off to see
Mother, father, ascend slowly
(Taking their time as parents do)
Chatting softly over coffee
The child fidgets, hot, enthused
His parents give a word to go
The paper meets ten frenzied nails
Hastily ripping it’s tied bow
Leaving nothing but blue entrails
A guitar rests upon his lap
Six slender strings, true craftsmanship
He quickly darts upstairs so that
He could begin to master it

An Elegy to the Clouds
O! clouds beyond a human’s grasp,
What could it be that moves you so?
Can something this alive in mass,
Be shot with just a windy bow,
Around the meadows mountain pass?
Surely beauty pure as thee-
(Capable of moving me) ,
Must be the champion of the sky.
And gatekeeper to all above it-
Deciding when the sun shall shine,
Shrouding stars upon a whim,
While dressing moonlight, end to end-
Gathering for a blizzard.
You are the messengers of dawn,
For when the sun peeks from below,
‘Tis you that keeps his colors so,
Yellow, orange, soft crimson,
A metamorphosis of moments,

Ode to my dying Cactus (Rough Draft)
Oh my most enduring cactus!
With more thorns than my years!
I shall water you for the last time
It shall be with my tears!
I recall the joy you gave us!
A representation of love’s endurance…
(And the ferocity it may bring)
I vividly remember, when my senile
Grandmother placed you by the
Light switch, and mother, In a fit
Of anger over some lost remote,
Or sheer grumpiness, smacked
What she thought was the switch!
She screamed so loud, you would
Think the claws of hell had impaled her heart!
And I remember the hours put into
Removing your teeth from her
Palm, consoling her, soothing her agony-
