For the strong ones...
Those who are aware--
Without the dark, there will be no light,
Without the Sun, there will be no night...
Waking in the Dark is Dena L Moore's newest poetry chapbook in the occult realm. This work is not for the weak-minded or for those who like to view life as a barrel of fluff...Dena's poetry integrates the dark and the light and all shades of gray in between. Waking in the Dark shines a light on the deep, dark, and secretive realms of the human mind and human (and supernatural) relationships.

Excerpt:
Hades Moon
I chose the path of
The Hades Moon,
The rite of life and death.
I bit into the pomegranate
And cast my lot.
It was not from hunger
I tasted the fruit,
But out of obsession,
Out of compulsion for Him
Who rules the dark depths.
Queen of the Underworld I am
And I do not deny the title.
Persephone the witch, the prophetess,
The mystical doomsayer.
Paranoia and revenge are the underpinnings
of my soul, the heights of passion my addiction,
The healing touch my transformation.
About the crust, light shines forth,
Waiting for the day I will rise up with my King,
My Hades, My Love, My Life.
