Moon

Moon, why do you taunt me? Your haunting glow consumes all I am. I howl at your feet as you hang majestic from a diamante sky I am breathless, shackled to the earth as I gaze at your beauty, your shape centred in a clustered jewel. Your children sparkle in sibling frame. My heart is lost, no other will pacify the aching wound that protrudes from my chest My healing is long and painful. Will sanity return? One day, maybe tomorrow? You stole my dream, ripped into nocturnal misery as the ghosts pose in silent masks. Regret stirs, clinging to the winds of a toxic flame. Beguiling, my eyes burn as sunrise shapes its day, Tender strands of light peak through the gullies and allies of my being. Romance still forms within me, a harmonic tune that whistles with the easterly breeze, but this tranquil sea stirs madness. Fire will again light this soul once regret has done its worst and left my shadow. Moon, never leave, be my secret no more, rejoice not weigh me down and, I will love you forever.
