Mysteries of the Night

The world begins as upside down
As moon once more will steal sun’s crown
Then from our roosts, we take to wings
As echoes fly, and cool wind sings
We turn and tumble, flip and twirl
As creatures sleep, and flowers refurl
At water’s edge, some take the plunge
To catch a fish, and drain its lungs
Some seek cattle, for blood fair
They lap each droplet with great care
Others still find ...
Rejuvenate me, Moon. Let your milky, pearlescent pride irradiate my skin;
it curls into even the most neglected crevices, gently caressing the cracks of my shaky hands and the dirt atop my unkempt cuticles.
You love everyone,
even the ordinary hill I sprawl about,
and the sharp grass that pinches me.
Here I’ll reside every night,
letting you whisk me apart from existence.
I’ll forever ascend...
Fat meaty limbs

The red liquid pours quickly without stopping
Without waiting to check to they’re dead (it doesn’t care what they are) it bites in
**Crunch **
It’s teeth become just as red and the wet liquid drips off of it drooping lips
Without care for its decorum is chews with its mouth open (the bones are also good for protein)

i didn’t write this for the prompt but it fits so here we are
Dear Moon,
Who engraved those craters in your soul?
Was leaving you in the dark their goal?
Or did they etch their secrets in charcoal?
At least you never lost your glow,
Even through the falling snow,
Your beating heart is always shown.
Dear Moon,
I’m sorry we left our mark on your skin,
Placed flags that pricked you like a pin,
...
from my limited perspective
it all looked the same
tiny specks of white
littered the night sky
to my ignorant mind
it all felt the same
the measures of distance
too grand and puzzling
in the unforgiving darkness
straight ahead
the stars’ light smothered
by tall buildings and false clouds
in that daring alleyway
just over my shoulder
choking and croaking
snickering and bickering
it all bec...
Close your eyes and don’t look back,
Keep running as a shooting star,
You may not make it back,
But you will shine as bright as the stars,
You reach the moon,
now discover where’s the light,
That makes it shine.
Mine all mine that beautiful dark sky,
where only the clouds roam around,
late at night,
with the beautiful shutting stars....
Stolen kisses, sorrow-filled wishes
Live as the mysteries of the night
Star-crossed lovers meet one another
Under cover of the dim light
They kiss and cry, hug their last goodbye
Nobody knows but the night
She leaves his side reluctantly, he holds her hand stubbornly
They hide their tears in the night
One more wish, one long kiss
Before they walk away, deep into the night...
Another night has fallen.
The world, blanketed beneath a thousand layers of black
Sliced all noise to tiny whispers.
‘Tis a dome sunken with the weight of the moon—
That glowing ember, bound to its endless cycle of rebirth
As the stars echo its deafening loneliness.
Darkness conquers the hollow streets and air
Scented with tears of crying children.
Silhouettes of desolate figures creep home,
Thei...
