FULL MOON WARNING...

Full Moon Warning

~
Sitting in the darkness howling
he reached through the window
tapped me on the shoulder.
Sorry moon,
I said,
No light of your own
borrow from someone else.

He beamed a knowing grin

through the huge hole he poked in the sky.
Miserable moon,
I said,
setting all to glow, Illuminating nothing.

He kept on smiling down

smiling like a lover
Devil moon,
I said,
Distant cold hearted fickle orb

here one night and gone the next.

Rising a little,

he sent a bright finger rippling across the water

beckoning he drew me like the tide

into the darkness
to dance in the glow of his ambient light.

Hateful moon,
I said,
you know you make me crazy.
