Love Poem: Torment of a Blood Moon

Torment of a Blood Moon

alone ‘neath the full moon
my heart once bright with hope, now dimmed
how I wished you were here with me

     as the moon bled with my heart
     shadows of past love traversed the orb
     ruby halo I longed to share with you
     
watching as a shadow slid across the moon
shooting star left its contrail in ebony sky
smiling, I saw your heart in the scarlet moon

     where are you now, my love
     magic moments we once shared
     my spirits sank - torment of a blood moon     

     



*While we were watching the moon, we saw a shooting star!
