Love Song XII: Moon

Copyright 2009-All Rights Reserved

Moon

moon
jewel of the night
diviner of
longings unfulfilled
look down

wishing moon
look down
tonight
with tender
mercies
on two lovers
angry and alone

at first sight of you
gentle
their spirits
goddess moon

let fall
from your fair countenance
magic light
full of potions
full of spells
full of
love’s enchantments

whisper
incantations
cast charms
unbridle passion
witching moon

let fall
sorceries
sweet bedevilment
beguile
these two
hearts again

mistress moon
oracle of the sky
and
of the ages
look down
on two lonely
hearts
angry
and afraid

look down
mistress moon
soften their hearts
with the
magic
of your
lustrous glow
and
speak
of
love
to them
once more

speak
lady of the night

speak
and
let fall
shimmering moon dust
let fall
your enchantments
let fall
a golden circle
of love
binding them
together
binding them
forever
in love’s embrace.
