we know that love is large and sometimes monstrous
the heart can be so porous
at times        that all it can do              is sing
the best thing you could teach two another

is how to love themselves,
so they can return the favor;
now that would be a refund!

She of moonfire
Entranced by her sleeping prince
Hands on heart, serene


This haiku is dedicated to Selene, Goddess of the Moon.
I love Selene for many reasons but what cemented my love for her was none other than Sailor Moon!
I love how their story is depicted in the manga and anime, Usagi and Selene will always have a special place in my heart.
Of course I grew up with the myth of her crushing ******* Endymion, Zeus granting her wish to keep the Shepard ageless while in eternal sleep and she sired 50 daughters which really weirded me out. So Ive somewhat rewritten the myth in mind.
Even so, Im grateful for Selene.
As much as I'm a logophile and biblophile , I'm very much a selenophile ^-^

Much love,

I'm my dreams I'm in love with you
Dreaming all night about you
Dreaming about loving you
And if these romantic dreams ever come true
I want you to know that I will love you
For eternity.
She's Beautiful
Happiness and
Joy in my life
The lord is my Shepard
Jesus Christ shows me the way
He's in my heart every day
I fellow him,
And I love him so much every day
With his guiding light
We'll be alright every night
Every morning I hope
And pray the Lord Jesus Christ
Will take this horrible virus away..

Exiled to dusk,
Fractions of the sun
Begin to lift away,
In concealment
We shudder,
Casting our reels
Into a pond of uncertainty,
Clock hands bend
With advancing shadow,
And speak of time
Only in past tense.

I so want everything
I ever felt for you
Preserved for posterity,
Even should forever
Be far less than
We imagined.
Sometimes I wonder
what life would’ve been like
if I could’ve opened your eyes
and allowed you to see
how I was the missing piece
to your flawed masterpiece.
