Ghoulish creature in full moon light

Eerily stalking you, in ebony night

No longer hidden, the Hunter’s Moon glows

Lighting the way, with terror, he shows

A hideous face, with a sickle in hand

His quest for you, most carefully planned

Watching and waiting, he stares in the dark

Empty eyes gazing, he’s leaving his mark

Quivering soul, he’s gotten into your head

Wearing you down, no escape from the dead

On the ledge

Lost to the night sky

She, alone

Sits, waiting

With starry eyes gazing fast

At her beloved

Golden droplets glow

Shimmering ever softly

In the pitch of night

He flies by night, through darkened skies

In search of prey, as moon does rise

Talons, hidden, tucked underneath

Eyes opened wide, he searches heath

The slightest movement, he can detect

His victim, knows no circumspect

Caught in claws, then whisked away

It shall not see the light of day

For the owl must feed his family

Hidden high above, in yonder tree

He’ll do this task, without fear

Each time the sunlight disappears

Head keeps pounding
There’s no end in sight
Take something to sleep
Say goodbye to the light

Forgot about tomorrow
Dreams take me elsewhere
To a place in the clouds
Where there’s nary a care

Float about, with no worries
Let the real life fade dim
Become one with the moon
I can always trust him

When reality sucks me
Deep into its plight
I imagine the chance
To sneak away, take flight

Escape what can happen
Never stay here and wait
Live my life to the fullest
Before it’s too late
