Moonlight Dancing

Lon Chaney Jr. is my muse. You figure it out.

 

Moonlight Dancing

 

As she waltzes across the sky,

Swaying with the tide,

Her pull brings forth

The trauma of change.

Luna hypnotizes,

Captivating the spirit

That rages within.

It springs slowly forth,

Painfully,

Drawn out by her calling.

 

Hair rising. Bristling.

Blood boiling. Rushing.

Claws flexing. Shredding.

Teeth to fangs

Gnashing

In agony,

Turns to snarling.

Snarling gives way

And the howling ensues.

 

A macabre melody for the dance

As she waltzes across the sky.

It sure seems like the full moon affects people's psyches doesn't it?
I mean who knows whats on the dark side?
Save for a few astronauts doing a fly by, we don't know what's over there,
except for a man, and a whole lot of swiss cheese of course

Enjoyed the poem Legion, very interesting!

Wow. I loved this. Awesome piece, you have done such justice to our loving moon with this piece. Beautiful.

A very beautiful piece. I love the opening line, it draws you into the piece.
Great write : )

[Serendipity]

I completely agree.

You paint a beautiful picture, "As she waltzes across the sky ... Captivating the spirit." Yet at the same time, ugly, "Claws flexing. Shredding ... A macabre melody." Muses can be great and other times, they can be simply painful.

[The Autumn Faerie]

It's obscurely beautiful...
