Silver light shines so bright, Reflects on your surface in a fight To blot out the blight Of oppressive night.
As it shimmers on the lake At night, it dances with shadows, fake In their adulation of your stake In everything that’s ensconced in black.
Its silver sheen is reminiscent Of the clouds’ silver lining that bent The impossible to their heaven sent Hope, that relies on faith not being absent.

Evil’s Moon
On the night of the wolf moon The wolves howl to one another, Communicating their feelings in a leer, A gross grin that hounds the soul, a goon,
Fierce, a horrific distortion of beauty As the full moon, its crevices, darken The night into a fearsome howl that’ll blacken The depraved souls into coal, crusty
In consistency, flammable, evil, Evil reigns with its oppressive Weight, that governs stagnant, progressive Deterioration into lunacy that coil
Around the heart, squeezes, Till the suffocating of goodness prevails Seeking to seize all faith, beliefs, Throwing them to the wolves, scavenges
In the unholy darkness To spread depravity, not faith.

Masked Wonder
Dressed in her ivory maskerade ballgown, Her golden mask, sitting holding a frown, Wondering carelessly why their return Was before the clock struck one.
She stands by the shore a glow bathed Her translucent skin brightly locked In wonder, as she gazes through the darkened Sky lit by a brilliant moon and stars, dangled
In clusters, creating images and a haze Of moving light surrounding the blaze Of hope and wonder that are cause For our betterment and flays the craze
Of depression’s loneliness that she Left behind, as the music was too loud a bee, She stirs from her pose of repose to see And appreciate the beauty and comfort that be
Her succor as she contemplates The dichotomy of a world at wars While the other lives freely and creates Memories, while the other loses or dies.
