Short Unobscured Poems

To know riches

one must know nothing

I know you
like one knows the crescent moon
obscured by clouds
is luminous
bulbous, and enormous

Staring at the starry sky
Unobscured by a cloudy night
Wondering why

With many borders

Will they be inhabitable
By humans and beast
Will they produce food palatable
For all to eat...

knowing not resistance
from a love that was true

as you scale the tower
you know in your heart
a happy ending was coming
you knew from the start...
