Rose Moon in Bloom

Written for the prompt Rose Moon 15 - 25 words set by Poets Island via Instagram

Eclipsed hips part, unearthing
a rose moon in bloom,
opal sighs glimmer, 
ruby heat spills, sitting
bodies ablaze in molten embrace.

Russet Moon

Russet Moon 

The moon tonight had a promise
of turning russet
When I looked up, the moon was
full and yellow and had a smile
on a round happy face
What can I say? Was I too late to 
See what Planet Watchers had 
longed for
Since from the kitchen window
It was the best place to observe
The moon, I made a cheese sarnie 
and a

Sky gazing

the evening spreads its veil
we await the rising of the moon

Blood Moon captivates sky-gazers around the world

I timed my departure to coincide with the
lunar eclipse, but the
eastern horizon wasn't apparent,
in the park, or at the top of the road
my local high points

I scanned the firmament along, with
other rando hopefuls but there was
no show to see so
onwards and upwards we went
as wine of a deep red hue
wasn't going to
buy or drink itself

My heart reflects the silver of the moon;
your golden love, it bathes my dreamy swoon.

Moon Trip

Is it possible that man has evolved too soon?
Men who never intend to go, send other men to the moon.

Moonlight's Bright Tonight, Part 3

Moonlight's bright tonight.
Let's go outside and play.
We can run until dawn.
Morning's still far away.

Embrace the lingering warmth
From the setting of the sun.
Streets grant one true path.
Night calls our return.

In silence the river washed
Our dreams from the shore.
Shiny speckles of sand
Are ours no more.

We’re left vacant and empty
With no pathway home,
Yet the streets keep calling,
Calling our

Blood Moon in the Spiral

The Blood Moon is entwined in grape vines
Where it swirls around and climbs!
The Moon looms in the curl,
Guarding its encounter with Earth and Sun.
Thus, night's descent has begun
With scattered light on the run!

A total lunar eclipse 
A celestial event not to dismiss
A celestial pastry with vegan cream
Red wavelengths are glowing in our dreams.
Let's strip down

paper moon, paper stars

sometimes it's hard to be a bard

where hides hidden verse in paper yard

etched in stone or scribed in bars 

follow the moon, follow the stars 

Old Sins Cast Long Shadows

As the Moon rises in the east
barely showing its face above the horizon
the Penumbral Eclipse takes form
heralding the full weight of the time
a new Shadow was about to be cast over me.
Dark has cloaked my deeds up until now.
The Blood Moon enchants with its splendour
and ultimately the reflected light from the Sun 
is embraced by

Missed the Oxymoron With Bright Midnight

Bright Moonlight

To capture moonlight in your palm
Forever hold the lunar sun
A double gift from nature’s kind
God’s day and night for everyone

When midnight is a raven black
The velvet night in silence shows
A luminous and bright midnight
A heart at peace  when beauty glows.

Blue Moon

I can hear the wolves howling. 
A blue moon sky tonight, 
movement, motion, magical, 
we're synchronized just right. 

Her silhouette's smoldering 
behind translucent screens. 
Perfect, pleasing, pandering, 
my fantasy, her scene. 

Incense burning, candles aglow, 
a breeze blows her to me, 
luscious, lacy, lingering, 
the only thing I see. 

She touches without touching,

lovers admire our silver-buttered moon,
whose flatteries have led the clouds to swoon

Moonlight's Bright Tonight, Part 2

Moonlight’s bright tonight.
Let’s go outside and play
In the streets of the city.
Morning’s far away.

We’ll dance in the streets,
Race under the stars,
Staring into the eyes
Of oncoming cars.

They’ll tell us their wisdom
In archetypical style
Of the roles that we play
And if we survive.

The dogs of the city,
They howl and they fight,
Then fortune they share
For our hungry delight.

Severed Veins Bleed on Moon

Earth bloodies the moon
its face drowned in severed veins—
harangued in the sky
for all to see Sun's disdain
in being eclipsed usurped

The heavens lament,
scattering rust into dusk,
for the blood red burns
when what's seen is black and white—
space smeared with wrath set ablaze.

A blood moon warns us
every orbit has peril,
in being dethroned
by an unyielding eclipse,
tainting our shadow of
