“When life gets too overwhelming, just look up at the
night sky and lose yourself for a while.”—Deborah a Ten Brink
the infant moon
milks dry night's swollen breast,
heaving a sigh
of comfort, as the world
begins to swoon
for days-end mercy rest,
when every eye
beneath its lid is curled.
the stars soft-bred
along the milky way
their birthlight shine
to warm the atmosphere,
and soon is fled
the spirit of dismay;
soon, too, is gone
that...

Rubicund Treats
She was a gourmet moon going down
Into the multi layered west,
Wearied now, of that shadow play
Of ancient ecliptic renown
Where all the lycanthropes are blessed
Well past the daylight dream array
In an unduly brief siesta nap,
Too bright for any ghoulish dreams,
Who love more the soft skies of night,
For drifting in the celestial map,
Or to play upon downy lunar beams
When gargoyles have taken flight
To see for themselves a bleeding moon
Commanding a noctilucent mist
Forbidden within the solar breezes
Of handmaid...
Into the multi layered west,
Wearied now, of that shadow play
Of ancient ecliptic renown
Where all the lycanthropes are blessed
Well past the daylight dream array
In an unduly brief siesta nap,
Too bright for any ghoulish dreams,
Who love more the soft skies of night,
For drifting in the celestial map,
Or to play upon downy lunar beams
When gargoyles have taken flight
To see for themselves a bleeding moon
Commanding a noctilucent mist
Forbidden within the solar breezes
Of handmaid...

Black moon shirt, red negligee burns...
The Night was made for lust...
Unbuttoning the black moon shirt
Pale light of flesh calling
Tightening the noose of desire
Bound by the breath and ropes
Arched back, Fallen Angels bend
Quivering mouths, angelic tongues
Lip synced splitting her open
Red negligee burns mortal flames
Dark petals bursting and wet
This fire within them only grows
Ephemeral hands, the eternal florist
Plugging into my soul like you do
Urgent hymns trying to break me
Preying like a mantis at my temple
Pearls will always...
Unbuttoning the black moon shirt
Pale light of flesh calling
Tightening the noose of desire
Bound by the breath and ropes
Arched back, Fallen Angels bend
Quivering mouths, angelic tongues
Lip synced splitting her open
Red negligee burns mortal flames
Dark petals bursting and wet
This fire within them only grows
Ephemeral hands, the eternal florist
Plugging into my soul like you do
Urgent hymns trying to break me
Preying like a mantis at my temple
Pearls will always...

The Gruesome Night
The night was over
The rain made sure of it
The moon didn’t show
Cats cowered under cars
Men wept in tents
The bloated river washed away
The path of a fox
The night was final
Lingering eternal
As if the rays of dawn
Would never come
To burn the dark away
The gruesome
The endless
The pitiful night falls
To a kiss from the sun
With each embrace, she wears away
His velvet guard that stole the day
With each caress of Golden light
The sun erodes the shores of night
...

With each embrace, she wears away
His velvet guard that stole the day
With each caress of Golden light

Winter Stars
Sparkling shine that hides
gems who ebb and wax
dream and fall, rise like frost
and dive like sleet.
gems who ebb and wax
dream and fall, rise like frost
and dive like sleet.

I remembered you all through the night, your name, where is your name?

a letter to Selene
Dear Selene,
hold the night
and hold it tight
for so i've chased for too long
now at own knees
begging for perpetual darkness
so i can stop hiding from my own shadow
and turn as grey and beautiful as you
long enough i've sought to see
a ceaseless night
but the earth spun
and the sun illuminated once again
receiving all the love
that the moon never had
Alectrona's on her high horse
a rigged resource
a dense godhead
that couldn't bare the role
of shaping...

Aurora Borealis
The light wrestles with the sky
Dancing through the atmosphere
An indecisive hue
As radiation and fire burns off the gas
A fire works show of beauty made of a silent war
Explosion's of chaos, waves like a river overhead
It sweeps my eyes downstream
Existing in a place where day is dark as night
Aurora Borealis guides me to my true north as I follow the light...
Dancing through the atmosphere

A fire works show of beauty made of a silent war

a mushroom...
a mushroom
bloomed
in the shadow
of the night
hoping to
illuminate
with the
moon
but how
will it
shine
if the
moon casts
a bigger
shadow
bloomed
in the shadow
of the night
hoping to
illuminate
with the
moon
but how
will it
shine
if the
moon casts
a bigger

ALL OF YOU
Goodnight you
Who feeds the hens
Goodnight you
Who plans events
Goodnight you
Who teaches children
Goodnight you
Who leads the meeting
Goodnight you
Who files paperwork
Goodnight you
Who quilts the fabric
Goodnight you
Who speaks on radio
Goodnight you
Who peels the willow
Goodnight vast you
Goodnight past you
Goodnight all of you
Who feeds the hens
Goodnight you
Who plans events
Goodnight you
Who teaches children
Goodnight you
Who leads the meeting
Goodnight you
Who files paperwork
Goodnight you
Who quilts the fabric
Goodnight you
Who speaks on radio
Goodnight you
Who peels the willow
Goodnight vast you
Goodnight past you
Goodnight all of you

[fire]fly
in the dark room
a green flash up on the side of the wall
distracts my drowsed eyes
I wait and
it flashes again,
and I wonder if it is a device or sensor
but I watch
and it moves slightly and
flashes again.
the cabin feels small in the dark forest
the light rain drips down
drenching lightly and cool
the central heater comes on
I listen for Mr. Night, right outside my
window
in the dark room
a green flash up on the side of the wall
distracts my drowsed eyes
I wait and
it...
a green flash up on the side of the wall

I wait and

and I wonder if it is a device or sensor
