The Sorcery of Your Ways
(A Love Letter to the Moon)
Across the seas,
midnight waves and your light dance before me
As you perform your promenade
before my eyes
Your magic lulls me
Drunken by your beauty,
undulant phantoms rise deep from the waters
In your honor
They bow down at your grace
blanketed in your forever
You reign over the night
The lone poet of the skies
Lost in your hours
We paint our dreams
You enchant the nightbirds and my solitude
Even the stars they envy
The sorcery of your ways
Have I ever not loved thee?
And you break our hearts.. just as the day breaks the dark
With love dust upon our faces
We melt into your light
As soft and delicate
As you are glitter edged and sterling
You remain ageless and arresting
Profound in your beauty
Beneath it,
Our minds wander and brew
Like twilight magicians
We wonder of the stories you hold deep
While you
timelessly cast your endless mood
Will you not tell us a secret or two?
Oh ancient storyteller,
The many tales we have of you…

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
