The Moon My Beloved

Acrylic On Canvas | 4 ft by 4 ft

Every night like a newly-wed bride,
I sit by my window in darkness.
With bated breath and butterflies in my stomach,
Awaiting the moment you make your appearance.
Ah, the glory of watching you fully pregnant with yourself.

In that magnificent moment,
You descend upon me

Engulfing me like famished wolves.
I surrender…

Then slowly dark turn to light
And the faint strains of reality creep into me…
The journey fades into the starkness of time
beckoning me to its mediocrity.
