The Crescent Moon

poems are like the seasons,

constantly changing yet always beautiful in their own way--

ironic, tragic, sadistic, blasphemous.

i can smell the sweet scent of the crescent moon

as it's cold white rays dance across my eyes,

around my head, in one ear and out the other

so quickly that a whistling whisper reverberates inside my dome,

yet unknown to me was the feeling of fleeing--

running away to a land of John and Jane Doe's,

nobodies to me, though somebodies to themselves, I suppose.

here we would sit, regressing our last lines,

of crescent moons, yet now the sun shines.

how can it be?

such a social tragedy, to escape and relate

life as it was to the life chosen to take.

no more "dudes", "dawgs", crude words or flaws--

just life as we know it, no need for applause.

the dying days of life astray have taught us and led us on our way

to the tundra of thunder, it crashes down and haunts us,

once cold, no light, now steaming and much too bright.

go ahead, raise me to the Heavens,

i dread the day my angels no longer beckon,

"His path is now set, we can intervene no longer."

demons will rise in rupturing riptides

as Hell freezes over, yet flames override.

Carpe Diem, Carpe Nox,

i've seized the seasons squealed the silver fox.

the crescent moon looked down that day,

upon us all, upon the choices we made.
