moon-lit dreams
moon shine reigns over
silent contented sigh; wind
whispers in the night
sky above divine
stream of inspiration flows
moon rays shine over
moon shine reigns over
dreams roar to life ; court success
will to be strengthened

We sing in the dead of the night
Joining silently the night life melody
As the fear of the dark takes flight
We sing in the dead of the night
Sweet harmony as we might
With nature we commit a felony
We sing in the dead of the night
Joining silently the night life melody
101
One on one
They lay
101
Flirting with the differences on their chests
One was flat
One was not
One on one they lay
Just like the 101 classes they needed some flashes
Of what really lay inside them, was it always cold at night
Or would that eventually change, maybe that difference on their chest
Was the key to their answers
As they lay one on one
Kissed shoes,
Thrown around,
Hit heads
Hints heard
This life as stone was too much for them
Only solace found was the difference in their chests
As they lay one on one
101
Stones
Unliving
Unbreathing
Lay side by side
One on one
On the drive way to the house
101
written for my 101nieth post!
Thud! thud!
Early morning
Draft of cold air chills the cheeks
Cocks crow
People are roused
Silent yawns
Rubbing of eyes
Staggered walk to the front door
Tools of trade in hand
Eyes adjusted to the daylight darkness
Feet pick a trail so long used
Headed south to the stone mine
Where the thud! thud!
Of the warm hug of stone and mallet
Wakes the villagers
The carvers are making their living

Moon-lit Sky

I am
taken aback by the beauty
bent forward in delirious laughter
winking mischievously
sighing softly at the beauty inside me
I am
a lover of the night sky
a friend to the stars high
the seer of the galaxies running in the wild
I am
a friend to the singing crickets
a soulmate to the burning insect
the desire of the blind owl shunned by my fore-fathers
I am
the silent whistle of the tree
the loud silence in the night
the dark in the sky
I am
light
wind
darkness
all blended into one
I am of the dark night
I am Faith
Soulful dances
moon drop kiss the ground

whispers still the night with dance
reeds swing by the pond
Lil’ bird poem
Mind of an insomniac
Sometimes I let my mind take over
the midnight mind I do not mind
And half the things my mind might mind,
don't really matter past the light of night
Sometimes I
allow a random Thought to cross the mind
that functions in the light of day
but the rest remain hidden hn the light of night
This mind shines most in the light of night
flirting with possibilities that would shy a knight
working out problems as they appear at night
as just numerous ways to fly a kite.
In this state of mind I got the might to be all that I might ever have
dreamt of,
get on the flight to my destination in dreams
take on the flight of steps to the highest light, so white and bright
, that which my mind may call a star
take off the 'b' in blight to create a light and brightly spread to
all at sight
In this state of mind, where might is mine, and right I use to correct
the plight
and flirt with the light of night
It's totally clear that the mind of an insomniac is a perfect getaway
to the spark we try to ignite all day
The Orion.
I am not a scientist (and to think I always wanted to be an astonaunt but that was before I got introduced to the performing arts then I realised am better off on earth than on some other planet) so I have no idea how the constellations work/are though I totally love watching the sky especially at night. It took me a whole year to see the fourth star of the orion.*Just found out the orion has 7 most visible stars* No matter who showed it to me i just couldn’t see it. Then on the 31st of Dec , I finally saw it and remembered the hundreds of things that I keep looking so hard for but never find… the solution is so obvious!
Like the fourth star of the Orion,
The logic of the situation eluded him,
Made him have sleepless nights,
Made him wonder deep into the day,
Made him lack reason in a way,
But not to be defeated he still searched,
Deep into his soul,
Ingrained in his memories,
Lay his answer,
The answer he had long sought
And failed to find
That which now tormented him
Made him have wakeful nights
Made him shun out the light
Made him forget his entire self
Made him wish the situation away.
But that was not to be
For in every waking moment
He saw not what he wanted
But all he always avoided
The truth of the matter hit him hard
And now it was time not to hide
With a new sense of hope
Without a trace of dope
He trudged into the future
From a past he couldn’t control!!!
