Winter Moon

Left alone, halo hung;
Midst the nightly waves,
Stars in the sky strung
Above the quiet graves.

Just take a chance
In your shallow disguise,
With a mere glance
Into her hallow eyes

The winter moon's glow,
Bound to my delicate world,
Rained its crystalizing foe.
Around, the flurries swirled

In the deep, perfect land,
I ask the stars, “Hold my hand”
I mask the scars on demand
In sweet sleep, I take a stand

Fleeing the sadness;
Worry leads the way I go,
Everblooming madness
Darkens beneath the snow.

Whispers in my ears
Tickle my spine;
Rupture all my tears,
Dream of mine.
