Endless daze, dust and heat bake every inch of my skin. Plants wither, eroded and dried, rain a forgotten hymn.

The tides retreat, desolate shores, no encounter to be seen. My circadian rhythm shattered, sleep, a distant, fading dream.

The sun, a tyrant, blazing bold, scorches the world in endless day, no trace of darkness, no respite, no shadows left to play....

I will miss your 9:00 p.m. sunsets

And reciting sonnets to the moon.

She’s such a lover girl

With a soft spot for Shakespeare.

She is like me,

A coal mine canary singing for men to let me die

In the noxious fumes of their helium-inflated egos.

My flock migrated south for winter

Five summers ago

And left their nuclear shadows branded into the sky

After being consumed by the sun’s feverish beam.

I l...

I was used to the light, but still it felt blinding.

Most times, I close my eyes and try to remember what it was like when darkness covered the sky and only the faint light of the moon showed.

But it began to get harder to remember the way the darkness rattled my bones sending a shiver through my whole body and the way the softness of the moon light touched my face. The moon shined its light, bu...

It’s been five years since you’ve seen the moon , five years of never ending sun .

My thoughts secretly resting on a trigger of a gun just for a bit of fun .

The pause before the cause of death ,

now don’t be silly just take a breath !

Unable to sort through the pain , don’t you think it’s insane ?...

People worship the day.

Yoga students in acrobatic poses

And melanin deficient bikini clad women

Toasting their skin

Like a steak on the grill

That is, before The Burn

I can’t remember the last time we saw the moon

It’s been five years

And I’m going crazy

I need to sleep

I have not slept in years

I can’t relax my body

Because the brightness of the air

Just beyond the thin skin

Shielding my ...

It is a never ending torment,

A punishment, but for what?

It is day,

But never night.

My eyes yearn for a break from the light.

Never have I wished for darkness,

Yet this retribution has pushed me too far.

In this perpetual daylight,

I find solace in the shadows.

For that is the only way I can maintain my prudence.

And hope to not stumble off too far....

It’s been five years since you have seen the moon, five years of never ending sun.

Been waiting for you all my nights

I know you see me in the moonlight while you’re too busy running to the sunlight.

2000 nights without you

Another plenty thousand with sun.

You’re more predictable than the moon phases

Every night

Every day

It feels more like a light year.

You promised, “I’ll be back.”, “I’ll be h...

Now I, solomnly sat upon this lifted ray of light

the ants accept me now as never before

steering clear from my body as to not shake me

they know i don’t allign, they sense my specialties shine

cross roads and dark matter

i never crossed that highway

so tell me why i mustn’t die.

uncle up there upon your impish cloud tell me.

if the day must never end, why can’t i chase the sun?

i see my leg...

I hadn’t seen the moon since the day we came upon the creatures living on it.

They had already terrorized our ancestors and us for that matter. But we had found a way to save ourselves.

But this is what the invaders could never understand. They couldn’t comprehend why we wanted so badly to live. Why we wanted to be awake.

They treasured the silence. We were like nails on a chalkboard to them.

So t...

I’m burning

Hurting

Crying without tears

I’m longing

Wishing

As the bright star sears

Memory holds an image so dear

Each day it becomes a little less clear

It’s glowing

Gleaming

Softly in the sky

It’s calling

Whispering

Where was goodbye?...
