🌗 Starless Nights

18 4 6
                                    

Hovering above me,
Is a starless night sky
Silent, menacing
Like the black devil of nightmares.

It is the time of the new moon
Of spirits, ghosts and the possessed
Of the ones denied and misunderstood
Who roam the earth and plunder maidens.

Hovering above me,
Is a starless night sky
Quiet, mysterious
Like the witch of illusions.

It is the time of the full moon
Of magic that transcends good and evil
Of luck that shines bright and blue
That tugs at the heartstrings of lovers new.

Hovering above me,
Is a starless night sky
Looking at me with delight
As I study in awe its various forms.
