In the shadows, I’m trapped and alone,
A twisted world, my heart’s turned to stone.
He watches my every move with a grin,
But I’ll fight back, I won’t give in.
His whispers haunt me in the dark,
I feel his touch, his evil mark.
But I wait for the moon to light the way,
The eclipse will come, I’ll escape today.
Eclipse in the sky, the dark fades away,
A spark of light to guide my way.
Under the moon, my magic will rise,
And when the sun fades, I’ll claim my prize.
The clock ticks down, the moment nears,
The eclipse will end my fears.
In the silence, I hear his breath,
But I’ll rise above, even through death.
I close my eyes and feel the heat,
The power within me, it’s bittersweet.
The chains are cold, but my heart beats strong,
I’ll hold on tight, I’ll prove him wrong.
Eclipse in the sky, the dark fades away,
A spark of light to guide my way.
Under the moon, my magic will rise,
And when the sun fades, I’ll claim my prize.
His laughter echoes, but I won’t break,
I know the eclipse is mine to take.
The stars align, my power grows,
And in that moment, my spirit glows.
I feel the change, the magic stirs,
The eclipse will come, my mind it blurs.
I’ll break these chains, I’ll break his hold,
For in the light, my story’s told.
The shadows close in, but I won’t fall,
I’ll rise above, I’ll stand tall.
With every heartbeat, I feel the spark,
The eclipse will come, and I’ll leave the dark.
Stars collide, the night turns bright,
The eclipse is here, I feel the light.
My power calls, the chains unwind,
And in the light, I leave the dark behind.
The door is open, I see the sky,
No more whispers, no more lies.
The chains fall down, I take a breath,
I’m free at last, no more death.
He screams my name, but it’s too late,
I’m gone now, sealed by fate.
The eclipse has come, the world’s anew,
I’ll rise from here, and start anew.
The moon is fading, the sun will rise,
I’ll walk into the light, no more disguise.
The world is mine, the battle won,
And in the light, my freedom’s just begun.
Eclipse in the sky, the dark fades away,
A spark of light to guide my way.
Under the moon, my magic will rise,
And when the sun fades, I’ll claim my prize.

The sun and moon, so far yet near,
They meet but once, then disappear.
If fate allows their paths to cross,
Let us meet once, despite the loss.

In knots I’m bound
Like a loyal hound
To the boon of her weeping.

Across the obscuration of her glow
And the wounds she opens -
Only for our healing.

Caught in hypnosis,
Staring up into the empyrean night sky,
I see her in an incarnadine phantasmagoric glow
Singing nocturnes into a solvent for my soul.

And with my wolfsbane boon
I sing back to her in tune
An operatic symphony for two,
Basking in the resplendence
Of her crimson luminosity,
Freeing me of all animosities.

Admonish my nature,
So I may be absolved
To once again dance under your pale Aurelian sway
And brace myself upon the break of a new day.

The Moon was a quiet soul,
With not much to smile for.
But oh, the Sunny shade was no bore,
Of course, she was loved by the universe.

The love they shared capsuled
Them in their own galaxy;
The galaxy the little Star
Was oblivious to.

Oh, the Star
Quiet and awkward.
All she meant
Was trouble and boredom.

How she longed to touch the Moon,
To smile and be smiled at,
To love and be loved.
But of course she was too naive.

She was just a young Star,
Too absorbed in her reveries.
She was just a tiny Star,
Invisible compared to the mighty Sun.

When the Moon told the Star
Of his love, she flushed,
Thinking all his poetry was a
Reference to the tiny Star.
But alas, she wasn’t the only star.

Then the eclipse arrived
And the Moon and the Sun
Shared their beautiful kiss.
The Star, however, could not share
Her confusion, so she cheered along.

Of course the Sun was brighter than her,
The Sun was warmer, wiser.
The Sun was everything the moon needed;
The Sun was everything the silly star could not be.

It is not unusual for stars
to love, cosmic attraction
pulling one to another.

In the beginning when the
earth exploded into being
the sun and moon were
born to govern it.

As natural opposites they
avoided one another
sparing no thought whilst
following their own
cosmic paths, solivagant.

Occasionally the moon would
watch the earth and saw how the sun
nourished and brought
joy to its people.

And in turn the sun noted
the moons protective
shade and pitch night
wherein many lovers
stole forbidden kisses.

As the stars courted they
saw each other wholly
for the sun while
nourishing can also be
scorching and deadly, and the moon though many took comfort in its
glow others took it as an
advantage for carrying
out cruel misgivings.

Finally they decided to
meet, a day was chosen
and for a moment they
were as one.

This did not last.

The people below
panicked at this sight
fearing for their lives their
fervent prayers reached
the heavens and so once
more they parted and took
their immortal stations, everlonging.

Traveling to the center of this land that I know.
To a magical place in the middle, where sun and moon will show.

I hadn’t thought much about that little, care bear on the dash.
Just feeling like it’s in the way, and going to make us crash.

But deep inside I knew that I was right where I should be.
Experiencing this colossal event, with my friends numbering three.

viewing this crossing of never before, was therefore something new.
guided by strangers moments before in a parking lot out of the blue.

We followed them and they showed us a spot, to watch the moon make its pass. Oddly enough an identical bear was just laying right there in the grass.

A braided ribbon way up high, twisting black and twisting white.
Circling around this vast darkness in the sky, making it feel so bright.

Spirals of shapes around the sun, moving inwards and moving out.
Creates the reality in which we live, to this I have no doubt.

Egypt gave us many things but was not the first kingdom to grow.
This civilization popped up quick, built atop all we should know.

Understanding There is a price of admission, for all that I now see.
It’s the knowing that whatever happens, the “I am”, is really just me.

Blotted starlight from sunken Heaven
Aligns separate suns with black-hole-being
Under simmering fires of flickering, flickering,
Fading into condensation breath.
