Her Leave, His Leave
The Sun dipped down underneath my feet,
the Moon tipping over my head
Moonlight covered the snow and the sleet
Sun’s shadows now darkness instead
Dragging my purchase through the cold slush
Looking for sharp eyes in the trees
No sound in here, not even a hush
Still I dropped low and crawled on my knees
The Sun was gone now, her leave complete
And the Moon stood fast in her stead
Steady I mov...
Blissful Moment
I stand upon this precipice
Looking out over the valley of shadows
The sun dipped down underneath my feet,
The moon tipping over my head
The sun beams radiating just below the trees
The moon white light shines upon me
Darkness will soon envelope the valley
But at this moment
At this very moment
The meeting of light and darkness
Creates a beauty like no other
The sun conceding it’s ligh...
twilight
as I walked on the precipice between shadow and light
stars dancing in the moonlit deep
nothing felt more real than the crunch of my boots and the chill of the night
sparks swirled like petals crowned in red
as the sky glimmered and glowed in a fitful sleep
the sun dipped down underneath my feet, the moon tipping over my head
where the sky had no end and the earth seemed uncertain
up seemed like...
11:59pm
As the Sun
Dipped down
Beneath my feet,
And the Moon
Tipped over my head,
The dimming mirror
Of this final Twilight
Beckoned me to
Gaze into the mirror within this
Glimmering spectrum.
This day in passing,
The 365th drop in the bucket,
Is a current along my face
As it ripples across
the glassy sky.
What memories have I stored here?
How have I grown
Through accomplishment
Or regret?
What wil...
into the light, away from darkness
the sun dipped down underneath my feet,
the moon tipping over my head,
the world had lost its balance,
i was filled with an awful sense of dread,
because now the sun had gone into hiding,
there was nothing left to save me from my fears,
and the cold chill running down my spine,
would undoubtedly reduce me to tears,
every day i sit, bask in the glorious sunlight,
pick daisies, blow on dandelions...
Fin de siècle
I knew then it was the end
Not as the walls
Crumbled to dust
Regime capitulated
Overthrown
Not the fire nor the fear nor the lies
Silence grew deafening
In anticipation
Perilous impermanence
Recklessly, slash and burn
What preceded
In this new era
Glorified with senseless words
Poetry depicts the landscapes
I once cherished
Peace

Tipped Upwards Down
If i were to stand upside down on the bottom of the earth and be able to see through it to the top of the earth to someone else standing there. From what angle do i see them.
Am i the one the wrong way around or are they upside down upon on the ground.
What way for me would the sun rise and set and for them would it be different yet.
This is the point i try to make as the sun dipped down under...
Creatures Of The Night
The sun collapses to its knees
as moon stretches up and yawns
Snap
Vodka bottles pop up from hampers
Stealthy bags of licorice snake out from behind the pans
Crackle
Twilight blue splash from multiple devices
Swirling into corners as we, the creatures
Of the night, stirs
On blanket-swaddled loveseats.
Night stumbles overhead and we rejoice...
