Celestial forces and blue mystical light;
The moon travels closer to earth tonight.

Moonlit memorial at the end of day.

Even colors of a rainbow lack luster.

resting in silence, without a tweet.

Then throw me here, so your train hits me.

An icy and empty force of fate.

The cold city where even the sun cries,
its jagged, stealthy edges tear the skies.

yet a desolate pier and nowhere to go.
 

Silent Water

Lake skylit waters, peaceful view.
Frozen silence, fragments of blue.

A cold shackling of destructive pain.
Lakeside tattered, haggard and lame.

Snowbound barrier, desolute beach.

Another week ends, another day falls.
the sunlight lingers,  the darkness calls.

Lakeside of art, where abstract sails disinter.

in endless weeping by the lake.

Amongst lakes' crusted waters, falling skies;
no life saving refuge, in a harbor of disguise.

Lakeside sky in the wavering light;
A city of contrast, dark then bright.

A toasty glance to the end of the year.

Under the Missing Sun

If only one last glimpse of sun;
At least before the year is done.

a helicopter escapes by way of the moon.

Breaking circuit in clouded city terrain.
