Pale moonlight trapped in perspiration

Dew upon a troubled gaze!

Eyes heavy with sleep

Bemoaning, wailing, casting shadows

Flitting forces cry and pierce my ears

Trapped between existence and annihilation

Savoring pain, tightly held

Entrenching in a liminal unresolved space

In moments of clarity

Gaze upon a face full of fear

My heart gallops toward Mercy

The cries of trapped spirit fade

Into the recesses of my mind
