Save your final breath
Come to hell
Walk hand in hand with death
I'll take you away
Ever wonder what's on the other side?
Is the grass greener
Watered down with tears
So come fly to the moon
We'll come home soon
Icicles glisten under the white glow
We fall into shadow
No one knows
Your eyes reflect a fire I once knew
A fire that was love not true
But lust
I know we must
I can already taste you
Unable to contain myself
I can no longer leave this passion on the shelf
The water is warmer here
So clear and inviting
Glitter plumets through the sky
Listen to the wailing as demons cry
Your skin reflects the milk white
Chiseled muscle of a god
I fall under your sandman spell
But tonight I won't kiss and tell
Your skin is cool and smooth
I'm unwilling to let you go
Your hair sparkles with little fragments of snow
I wonder how we got here
And where will we go?
Come to hell
Walk hand in hand with death
I'll take you away
Ever wonder what's on the other side?
Is the grass greener
Watered down with tears
So come fly to the moon
We'll come home soon
Icicles glisten under the white glow
We fall into shadow
No one knows
Your eyes reflect a fire I once knew
A fire that was love not true
But lust
I know we must
I can already taste you
Unable to contain myself
I can no longer leave this passion on the shelf
The water is warmer here
So clear and inviting
Glitter plumets through the sky
Listen to the wailing as demons cry
Your skin reflects the milk white
Chiseled muscle of a god
I fall under your sandman spell
But tonight I won't kiss and tell
Your skin is cool and smooth
I'm unwilling to let you go
Your hair sparkles with little fragments of snow
I wonder how we got here
And where will we go?

Very nice Danii.....
More informative than a poem, just a rough write I'm afraid.
Permanently turned away from the earth
tidal forces have slowed down its rotation
the other face not visible to watching eyes
not the dark but the far side of the moon
Few lunar maria cover the surface of far
battered and cratered on the highlands
Shielded from earth's radio transmissions
fine lunar dust contaminates as it covers
UFO's apparently have been spotted there
and an alien base code named "Luna"
Astronauts approached by these beings
warned to stay off this wonderful place
The far side of the moon receives sunlight too
almost equal amounts as the near sides face
full and new is when the two are the same
another world on the Dark Side Of The Moon.

Very scientific Ms.Madgalena!
From the dark side of the Moon
Flying in with hooded cape
Billowing with unfelt wind
Black outside with reddish seams
Hugging me with its soft satin
Of dark wishes, needs and desires
I am he, she, it who comes
From the dark side of the moon
I come with a bag of wonders
Like an inverted Santa Claus
For men and women whose wishes
Are more than they do have
To make their wish come true
For dreams to become reality
To realise gossamer webs of visions
For you my voluptuous maiden
With pendulous breasts that begs
For needy lustful release
I am your lover tonight
A night of punishing ecstasy
Screams of orgasmic delight
for the undertaker’s task on the morrow
For you my hunk of a man
With your beautiful hard body
Your fantastical needs I will meet
I will ride you hard tonight
Allow you mind bursting ejaculations
You will traverse the universe of pleasure
For tomorrow you will die
For you my petulant child
I will show you the playground
Of Ferris wheels and merry-go-rounds
Of magic carpets that fly to the sky
Of ice creams and lollipops
and gingerbread houses...
You will adorn my dining table
For I am I, a being from the dark side of the moon
I am arrayed in clothes of ingenuity
I am wrapped in a cape of insanity
I am dreams and realities personified
I am tangible and intangible
You beckon me always
In your fantastic thoughts, wishes, desires...
lonely silence.

It's so dark,
So cold-
Silently grabbing hold,
Of my entire being.
Taking over my garyish lump,
My abused body-
Shrinking into myself I go.
While the dark takes hold.
Again.
The sun, it burns,
But enjoy it I do.
When it washes away-
All the freezing pain.
That makes skin brittle.
Slowly my lover holds me,
Caresses me-
Hello.
It's nice to see such a bright light.
While I reflect it's glow,
Upon our blue child below.
Until sadly I bid good bye,
We'll meet again next time.
After the dark of the moon-
Pure black hole.
Only lite by the stars,
Watching my lover from afar.
In freezing pain.
Till the rays shine again,
Caress my frozen self,
And we both shall shine-
Down on Blue.

Man in the moon-
You could polish and preen the craters
to make sun ripened amphitheatres
or feather dust between the lunar rust
made nice for 27th day dictators.
Invisible spacemen
that you think just might be there-
nothing's certain
other than the breath of the solar flare.
Like a damper, emptier part of gangland
territorially unhinged and dapper
it's so isolated
from its sense of violence
what beauty remains to batter.
It'd eat you up
what ironic heat,
when ice could succeed from the smother,
of ideology within the aloneness
oh, the graceful cheesy lover.

THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON
My species lives on the dark side of the moon
We cannot be seen - for we are transparent
We have a large colony that is made invisible too
Transparency has been our survival strategy
We live in an enclosure, breathe fragrant air
Grow our own plants to eat, flowers everywhere
Peace is what keeps us alive, we never argue
We are not angels, we have just learned
Disagreements on anything, can lead to hatred
Hatred is not permitted, no foul language here
Not even for a moment, within our stratosphere
We love, we live contentedly, eat only plants
Our atmosphere is brightly coloured
Only we can see it
We live quietly
Below the radar of everybody
For when our astronauts went to visit
Planets and beings, similar to us
All they were doing - was killing
Killing is repulsive to us
So we made our own garden
Tend it with care
Over a million plants
And friendly bees
Live there
Do not try to find us
Even when you do - it will be futile
For the only way to keep our paradise
Is to kill - each and every one of you.
