DANCE WITH THE MOON

The moon reveals the best in us.

It reflects our inner thoughts and desires.

Some may howl at the moon,

while others are impelled to dance.

Dance until the sun rises.

Dance until your limbs grow tired.

Dance until you feel at peace.

At peace with the world.

BLOOD MOON

Red reflects on the water

what we feel in our hearts.

As the day comes to an end,

we must face the night.

Turn not your face away.

Dare not take a step back.

Bear the brunt of the red moon

as it burns through your empty soul.

A VAMPIRE’S DELIGHT

Blood red sky at night.
Watched with sailor’s bated breath.
A vampires’ delight.

A RED GLOW

Alexander Calder, Sumac V. 1953.

A glow in the night

will lead me astray

from the moon’s light

to where I can’t say.

Bloody prints mark the way

to a small town on the shore.

At the end of the day,

we are at the devil’s door.

Time has no meaning or reason.

You can travel forward or back.

Death will follow with each season.

It is past time for me to pack.

THE NIGHT BELONGS TO ME

Come to me, my sweet.

We dance to a special beat.

My lips turn red

from blood, I’ve bled.

The night belongs to me.

I won’t be set free.

OUR GAMES HAVE JUST BEGUN

Linda lifts her face to the night sky.

The clouds part to reveal the moon,

A light reserved for night creatures.

Sand swirls around her

as laughter floats in the wind.

She runs to the boardwalk

as footsteps echo behind her.

Will I make it home in time?

She races along the path.

A shadow detaches from between the palm trees.

She runs into a hard chest.

“What are you doing here alone?”

Todd asks.

She isn’t afraid of him.

Or is she?

DARKNESS

Can you see it?

Can you feel it?

It waits in the shadows

For the perfect moment.

When the moon rides high,

It makes its entrance.

A cry is heard.

A soft whimper.

Then it’s gone

Until tomorrow night.

THE BLOOD MOON

The blood moon is here.

It’s come for me.

Be sure to take care.

It’s come for you.

Red flies through the air.

It’s come for the town.

I can smell the fear.

Come with me, my dear.

DON’T LEAVE ME

Koh tao sunset by Aylin Kinacioglu

Please don’t set.

Don’t remove your light.

Your warmth.

Your heat.

The nights are cold.

The shadows are long.

Don’t allow the moon its space.

It brings horror in its light.

Shadows in its path.

Please don’t leave me.

A LOVE PECK?

Source:raised-from-the-grave

I walk quickly this night

from who lurks out of sight.

The wind gives a whistle and a sigh

as strands of my hair begin to fly.

The moon hides its face.

I pick up my pace.

Shadows surround me.

Footsteps behind me.

Hands around my neck.

Is that a love peck?

He is taking my blood.

I die in a red flood.

SHADES OF RED

colorful gradient 32289

Shades of red fall from the sky,

They hit the ground in puddles of crimson.

Red falls from the darkening sky.

It covers the grass with its bright hue.

My face burns hot from its touch

as blood pumps faster through my heart.

The creatures track my desperate retreat

through the deserted woods.

I will be one with them all too soon.
