Goddess of the Moon

an ode to her who reigns in the night sky

Goddess of the moon

Reigning in the starless night

Where is the crown

That your mystic beauty demands?

As you swim in the sea of clouds,

Sweep the world in solemn silence

And overwhelm my senses in greyscale...

Goddess of the moon

In deadly shade of melancholy,

I pour out my sentiments to you.

Cast a spell on me, a poet

Enchant my fingertips

And move my heart and my pen

That my words may pierce a lover's soul...

Goddess of the moon

Watch over him tonight

As he lies on his bed (or hers).

Give him dreams of love

Or memories of me

That he will never forget

The scars that brought me here to you...

Goddess of the moon

Sole witness to my tears

Lull me to slumber.

And as I sleep my thoughts away,

I wish to wake up in your embrace...
