La Bella Luna

You flaunt your beauty like a rose, as your essence, frail and ghostly, blooms into fuller view, a stately pose. Maiden Of Mystery, home of stillborn assignations, misspent dreams and lovers' convocations, fired with all the grief you can distill, and all the joy. You haunt the heavens, blithe and beauteous, even when unseen your hold is mighty, mistress of the menstrual flow, the driving force behind each woman's mood, manipulation. The sun shall lose her heat and bleed to death e'er you dissolve, expend your final breath.

An astral beauty, soft and lovely to set me dreaming. Mysterious imagery defines the six end lines.

How well you write about La Bella Luna - the beautiful moon - Keith. It is amazing, when you think of it, how much hold the moon actually has on we humans on earth. "Maiden of Mystery" - - oh yes, I think she is. I often write about the moon also. She affects our earth so much. I often have to tell myself that when I go to bed and the moon is on one side of the house and in the morning on the other, that our home has completely turned during the night and the moon hasn't moved at all.
