Moonlit Temptation
The struggle of freewill
In the shadows of the night
With evil at the reins
A melody of silence taunts
In seek of your remains
.
As he stalks with fiery breath
In search of innocence
A master of deception
With moral pestilence
.
Slithering upon my flesh
In the shadows he will loom
As the tides rise and fall
I’m defenseless to the moon
.
His trickery and temptation
slips in for attack
I ask him for forgiveness
But the Devil whispers back
.
My heart beats rapidly
To a wicked tune
As the air around me chills
His thirst is to consume
.
In the depths of this abyss
I struggle to seek the light
A glimmer of direction which
I rise to stand and fight
.
For I refuse to be consumed
I rise with all my might
I'll find a way to conquer it
And banish his delight
.
Created in his likeness
The darkness cannot bend
Emerging with the love and power
My soul will never end.

His Haibun
He does not like poetry; I write it anyway and do not tell him. It's true his face is not a poet's face. It is round and open, youthful; too apt to be compared to the sun. His nose is neat. It is impossible to imagine him smoking a cigarette, terse, full of cheekbones and tension. His warmth burns my fingertips. I am here for his fascinating body, the haphazard freckles I touch one by one; he is here for my eyes, just my eyes. A sunbeam sneaks through the curtains and pierces us both, sizzling the spices of his skin. I inhale and wrap myself in him. He kisses my eyes.

The Great Uncoupling of 2229
“I realize there are still aspects of humanity that my kind cannot understand or appreciate….” The soft, airy voice resonating from the orb that trailed Teyhx through the hallway of her dorm pleaded with her to see reason. Though, ultimately, the decision was not hers anyways.
