Blame It On the Moon

Silhouettes of the far off skies
laced through the edge of madness
bring a certain dance to your feet
and some mysterious sadness.

Into the depths of black and beyond
temptation knows no bounds.
Moonlight breathes upon the earth
while passion's song resounds.

Under the lunar tapestry
love outlives it's hunger.
Thirst and greed shall disappear
while all the world grows younger.

Blame it on the stars above;
those crescent pieces of sky.
Blame it on the moon's pale glow
and never question why.

Deb, This is, by far, my favorite of the entries. You are a clever wordsmith that does not sacrifice art in the process of creating wordplay. I love this stanza: "Under the lunar tapestry love outlives it's hunger. Thirst and greed shall disappear while all the world grows younger" At some point, the strength of passion in love evolves into strength of resolve, where love is no longer fed by feeling, but by choice...as we age. I love it. Grats on your win!!! CTB
