The Moons Plague

A poem

The moon glows bright tonight for you my dear

Day by day will arise a new fear —

Death will soon be gleamed out by the brightness of our moon

He will soon carry me to the depths of our honeymoon —

Death will fade into the night sky as we call out our prayers today

As he too will soon leave us astray —

Lavender fields will coddle the carriage death resides within

Smells of devastation start to burn me outside in —

We ride this excursion together through and through

With horses of hell’s gate

We glide into the arms of misfortune — after all, these times are far overdue —

Poison ivy will guard the gates of the deceased

A fence of vines conceal the true beast —

Finger by finger — I will wear this guard — for you I hope to not see soon

With my suit of armor, death will stand no chance against our moon —

Our hands but will never touch —

Instead, they shall glow bright with the light of the moon shining upon our dried out palms
