The sun sets fire, to the night
As moon no longer, holds its flight
Sinking deeply, in ocean’s waves
The sky, now blackened, darkness caves
For we, no longer, will see him shine
Drowned beneath the water’s brine
So, we hang our heads, as we say goodbye
And mourn, the darkness of the sky

As the sky darkens
Sunlight’s kiss illuminates
And moon smiles brightly

It’s too hot to sleep
Sweat drips from my pores
Like icicles melting in the sun
The sweltering heat envelops
Even a run through the sprinkler
Offers no respite from
The ball of fire in the sky
I fan myself with the daily paper
Nothing cools down ’round here
Even the ripples of heatwaves
Swirling off the pavement
Are hot enough to fry an egg
So this is summer, they say
Dog days and Chablis nights
And here I sit….
Counting the days
Til autumn…

Darkness falls over your face
Blackened, like ash and soot
Blown about by solar winds
She no longer has the need
So she sends them to you
On the wisps of the clouds
From the shadows of the demons
Cast into the ebony skies
Until you are shrouded, hidden
In a haze of starless pitch
Allowing only the slightest light
To reign over the empyrean cosmos
