THE MOON AND THE NIGHT MARE

The moon and the night mare.    The moon awoke the night mare,To canter by his side,Always and forever to surf the waters wide.  Beguiled by his attention She urgently gives chase,Sinews straining, blazing, his night mare gathers pace. She streaks toward her suitor,His love ignites a flame,Spangled embers dancing behind her plum black mane.  Cloaked in opaque armour   She slyly changes form           Spitting twisted lightning bolts, raging up a storm. Sticky giant tentaclesEnveloping his soulPulling, squeezing leading him toward a big black hole. The fires of his passion Burst from her heart of clay                                            Pure gentle shafts of light cascade the Milky Way. A shimmering white phantomIn diamond studded beamsEmerges and transforms fulfilling all his dream. Together and foreverThey surf the waters wide,Reflected shifting patterns lapping on the tide.
