Supernova (Part Four) : Luna Stops Her Lullaby

Starless night, it holds no rest
Although the silence calmly sits
On all the world, in every corner
Where neither mouse nor beetle crawls
And Luna stops her lullaby

Painful day, he greets me now
Sickness within, hunger throughout
The kingdom came though none were pure
He laughs and jabs into my side
His crimson teeth now shining

Silent lover, long she sleeps
Keeping dreams inside her peace
While my heart grows black and hardened
And my blood grows thick and slow
How I long to join her now

Plump old Death, though crass and fattened
Moves on wings around the waste
Faster now than pagan deities
More common every passing morning
He skips no strangers feast

Dying World, that once was sweet
She kissed my cheek and made me smile
But now a cosmic killer has his hands around her throat
As she begins to choke all her children slowly fall
And our mother dies alone.

  1. I love how I can tell what you're interested in at the moment by the words you use in your poems... cosmic/crimson/etc...

    Don't ever stop, by the way.
