Entangled in the Moon

by Idiosyncratic   Dec 22, 2006


Her eyes surceed of sorrow
She looked away too soon
And, without this tragedy,
Became entangled in the moon

A leap of faith
And her eyes were torn
From their greatest weakness
They shuddered from the scorn

She gasped and turned
To flee the scene
A hopeless smile
That her eyes sought to see

Twice she beckoned
The return of the sun
But the battle was pointless
The moon easily won

An angel flew by
With scorched, blackened wings
A tone deaf voice
How the angel sings

But as the angel
Nears the moonlight
Her wings spring to life
They shudder, fluff, and turn white

It seemed a miracle
This angel reborn
But she wept hopelessly
For she was meant to mourn

An angel of death
Belongs only to it
The angel was wicked
The loving heart quit

Cheerfully, she realized
She could return
To a previous death
All she needed
Was a scornful breath

Upon the moon
She wrought her wrath
Surrounded the orb
With a bloody, red bath

Collapsing, the moon
Shuddered and died
The sun returned
And the good angels cried

    When I first read this poem it sounded like an anti suicide poem and that’s something very rare on this site and it really grabbed my attention. In the end however I was shocked when the angel died, but you managed to create it in a very poetic and sad way. Well done, I loved it.

    I thought this an awesome poem, i like the imagery as in scorched blackened wings, very vivid and realistic, and yet far off and distant

I hope that made sense. I love your work, please keep writting for my soul couldn't handle such a tragic loss.
