Luna~tic

this was written as two different pieces and each one reads independent
but mashed together they read as one story.



a break in the clouds
reveals an eerie glow
the moon shatters
the darkness of the night
as the clouds part
to show their respect

    in the darkness of a room
    a shadow moves
    bathed in the moonlight
    shining through a barred window
    eyes cast in the color of evil

the wind gives life
to the motionless trees
animating their
exaggerated arms
marionettes on
invisible strings

    the moon brings the night to life
    horror stalks the living earth
    a screaming howl
    rips through the air and
    the night recoils

a whisper of fear
dances across the wind
the world cautious
of the threat
hides the moon
behind sheets of grey

    a silhouette cast unto the dark
    an abomination to the light
    a beast of man stalks
    with dreaded hunger
    as the moon cowers in the sky

within the wind
the cries of the damned
rustle like dried leaves
on dead limbs
silent echoes carried
through nothingness

    relentless throughout the night
    fearless in its course
    compelled by instinct
    necessity and desire
    driven by the allure of the moon
