POETRY

No Moon Nights

Here, there and in between

It’s limitlessly dark and clear,
The fog has finally risen.
Diminished slowly below the line,
Gone over to the other side.

Thought I was done wondering,
Grounded in some reality,
Future’s set in motion, but,
Familiar friends come knocking.

While drifting in between,
I longed for feeling the pain,
Currents surge through my body,
As if for the very first time.

I cared about rhyming,
About following my rules,
Broken loose and wandering,
Too lost to come back home.

I stare eastward all night,
Up until the five a.m. light,
You were a no-show,
All the signs were disguised.

Arcturus shines brightly,
Unaware of your existence,
Embedded firmly in its position,
Secure in its divine purpose.
