Mormo nudges Moros shoulder hard,
chthonic behavior a bleak dance;
Cocytus is swollen with sad souls,
what direction do explosives flow?
Chthonic behavior a bleak dance,
it’s so easy to learn the steps to;
Be courageous, favor bold fortune!
Cocytus is swollen with sad souls,
Swim against this trend even alone,
capture optimistic moonlighting;
What direction do explosives flow?
Cerberus and Acanthodonto,
maybe the secret’s in their tension.

Moonlighting In June
Doctor Jekyll's special starling,
shortly pealed off, started snarling,
molting inside,
till speaks Miss. Hyde,
"Tough to be out cliched, darling."

There once was a pretty young miss
Who discovered her clito-ris
To her delight
She found each knight
Could lead to a life of pure bliss

MOONLIGHTING
swaddled by the stars,
moonlight swaying.
obeying sandswept eyes
and yawns of sleep.
dreams appearing
in seraphic shadows,
lighting up the inner room —
anamnesis of sunlight breadth.
drilling of the hands
and feet in repetition —
knitting needles syncing, lips
rehearsing the alphabet.
dot to dot of neuron hours
handsomely pieced
in gigantic looms. pillow
cosseting psychic depth.

Kissing you
in the moonlight
sun shining delight
I wrote this
for only you
Looking upon
a moon face
ground covered
in snow
almost looks
like daytime
as the moon sparkles
like diamonds reflecting
on a snowy surface
dreaming of you
In the moonlight
finger beams paint
silvery glistens
softy upon skin
touching gently moonbeams
a desiring beauty
Queen of the night
shining one star
brightly on love
emotions dream
softly gleaming
dusting feelings
upon a silver trail
loves miracle
Every wish
I whisper granted
smiles happiness
dancing joyfully
the soul naked
on a broken
stream of light
Shadows stray
kissing emotions
an angel sings
in sweet harmony
heaven opens
in song singing
I love you
we openly kissed
bathed in moonlight

Moonlighting
In the moon year
I began to ponder
Of trial about life’s racing,
I thought of life and prayer
I thought of blessing.
Under the clean moonlight,
In the shadow of my hallowed skin
Where the bright moon manifest
And cascades down my path,
I went to the seashore,
Where the gay moon cast
Aspersion on the ocean face,
I saw the rising moon tide
Overwhelmed the uncertain starfish;
Back to where it belongs,
As the moon tide caressed my feet;
I looked at the meek moon
I saw a friend,
A body guard against the uncertain world;
The caressing moonshine catalyzed my dream,
I lay back on the sand
And i followed the lost moon.

Once a month Earth’s moon takes another gig
Moonlighting in a far-off galaxy
The lunar eclipse only veils the truth
The man in the moon is an absentee
Decades peering down, he needs some relief
He’s seen famine, wars and catastrophes
His face now pocked by craters of despair
His other world? Fewer calamities!
He’s often afraid to show his full face
So he waxes and wanes in synchrony
Slivers sometimes, half globes make their debuts
Full orb appears with lovers’ harmony
Contrary to most popular beliefs
Werewolves do not gain power from his light
The man in the moon beams with a full grin
When we follow a path righteous and bright
This is the reason we see harvest moons
At times when we reap the best seeds we’ve sewn
The man who watches us is happy then
Bright orange smile -- appreciation shown
