Lady Moon

[Dark Muse]

Lady Moon

Your cold body
enthroned above
distant sphere
watching in
retracted silence
still, even in your
movements.

Ascending-
descending
wrapt within
skye blanket
a lone single
empty socket.

Pulse:
through my blood
mutely
you whisper
and laugh
in the back of
my skull.

So alone
your beauty
enshrined
your immortal death
undenied;
born again
only unto the
night!

when i read, i am inspired to write more. the skull reference was like the moon, and appropriate. the born again was good, as the moon rises. two thoughts i had: that the laughing may have a reason; and that the moon tries to stay aloof, but the sun reveals the lady's beauty.
