Moon

Moon is not beautiful She doth not shine golden She drops weakened, white light on creatures craving sleep She sits there and stares At a frightened little world with her cold, chilling glow and a hostility deep It's ingrained in her soul to make the nimbus look fearsome ghastly and pale like a place to hide demons She debases belief We forget our star-wish and thick, we go fishing at nighttime And then, Moon releases a loneliness, cold and we can't elude we're stuck in the hole of This brooding solitude mood and its tole. There's no escaping anytime soon As we start to fear the burning sun And I suppose, this is my loathing of Moon. Moon is contagious. She offers the aid of her presence, unfailing When we're washed down like willows, weakened and wailing And we can sail under her Just as the dime It's a lie that the night's only clock-start for crime When she's out from the hiding place to be bright as Moon can There's not a direction No footpath No overworked plan And when I remember: Beauty needs not a rival I suppose I'll be loving Moon, soon again.

Notes

I was told to take the side of love and hate, so I chose the wonderful moon - which I actually adore. To make the last line sound right, you have to pronounce it so at to rhyme with "plan", as I am Canadian and I say it that way. :)
