Moon
Extravagant night
whose sky swirls with navy blue
---and tainted white
whose wisps of clouds send shadows drifting
amid vast, barren lands
---discreetly
the leaves trembling
like tiny hands wringing with wrought
accompanied by the soft whistle of the breeze
§
But what are these things?
What are they but tiny observations
registered subconsciously
laying on the periphery of my mind
--- insignificant
The moon now draws my eyes
so full
so radiant
my love
the night's sun
§
Blood pounding, heart drumming,
with no guarantee I can stop this madness. Then
again, why would I want to?
the sweet indulgence of immorality
upon which we thrive--- it
would be like depriving one of oxygen
Embrace it--- breathe! Embrace the monster within!
§
Forgive me
I am but an animal
and the moon is my
only love
