Life’s Little Misdirections 🥀🦋

Moon In October 🌕

Moon in October
sinking pale heart
glow, slip beneath
whispers of dark
Grasp dull blue pearls
Douse streetlights
block by block
Escape my wide dungeon
Return sadder
cold -- gloom fuller
tonight

Wet

as the savaged leaves
you illume
I stand crisp
gaze clear
within -- beyond --
knowing your true position
hidden
Sadden another lover
Import
messages from me
along our great divide


10.15.19

"Through this world I've stumbled
So many times betrayed,
Trying to find an honest word,
To find the truth enslaved,
Oh, you speak to me in riddles and
You speak to me in rhymes..."

I took a break one morning to look upon something I forgot to appreciate before it was gone, even more beautiful than I could have imagined. Maybe, it was better to wait rather than regret the hours that lapsed. Plus, I need my sleep.

Growth as a writer comes from taking time to step back, take it all in. It's about perspective. I've learned as much as a slave as I have a free man. It's not my possession you will get. I'll wait for a worthy lover, even if it's the last chance before sunrise. Maybe, I'm just not ready.
