The Moon and I

Last night the moon whispered wonderous words

That tickled my ears tenderly to tears

As I laughed my lonely little laugh

As I screamed secretly and silently

He stood staring astonishly at me

As if I was the cracked and crazy one

Then again I always astonish him

Especially every evening engaged

In cautious but careless conversations

From our own perfect personal prisons

In which we were cast carelessly into

By malicious magistrates who made a mistake

Obviously oblivious in their obscenities

Toward two totally innocent ideologies

Though thoroughly surrounded by sights and sounds

I am always alone laughing in my asylum

But never on nights when the magnificent moon makes his visit

And insists on his incandescent insanity

As he casts his incantations he incapacitates me

I laugh aloud no longer

Thoughts taking root

I've had the idea for this for about 20 years and have had several mis-starts never quite getting it going. A lot of the work I'll end up posting here is up to 20+ years old. Much of it used to be on Deviant Art until that site started it's downhill trajectory. Before DA it was LiveJournal and before LJ it was various small dark communities, including one I ran myself for a time, that have failed to endure over the years.

I thought about privately hosting this, but it's the community I miss the most specially those from my old haunts on LJ and DA. So, considering today's barren landscape of places where originality is still appreciated, Tumblr seemed the best fit.

Given this community has fought a valiant fight over the years to be here for so long and it's still going strong, I thought I'd join in the fray and add my words to the beautiful mess that is this bright spot of creativity on the internet. Though this is new, I've been here a long time, just not in this capacity.

Of note, all content here is 100% original & mine unless otherwise specified. This includes all posts from the photographs to the poetry and everything in between. Thus, I kindly ask that you credit me if you choose to share something of mine you like.

Also, given real life pushes and pulls, there may be times where there are an abundance of posts and others where there are a dearth. Such is the ebb and flow of both inspiration, the fickle beast it is, and the hands on the clock strangling out every last moment of peace possible in the modern hellscape we find ourselves in.
