the paradox becomes opaque…

the voyeur past
sensing my melancholy
the gracious evaporation of memory
lonely and misunderstood
the apparition of a dream
while jagged clouds hide the face of the moon
sweet familiarity
I breathe you in

oracle in the orb
contingencies
create acedias to animation
spin around my world
nothing stops
the summer’s crayon tinted yellow moon

push forward
nighttime calls
graciously floating on the edge of ecstasy
I fall into restraints
legacy licks my tattered seasons
retreating into the tremendous strain
a vanished soul unable to share pain
moon’s will always wax and wane
The moon and I, we know the night well
statues with mysterious sardonic smiles
moons lessened by half, we continue all the while

like prolific verbal epics confronted
phase discourse long and short

the paradox becomes opaque…
love is a moon
whispers of passion
strong with desire

take time phantom lover...
a cliché lover
I am a hopeless romantic
let me steal an emotion

I gave trust too easily
hoping love would come my way
the silhouette of auras
the moon harbors my secrets

soft and pallid in a sigh
like a vow
made in summer
articulate through all my life cycles
as I scramble behind the moon
