Interlunar Dreams - Chalice

The night sky lights the fallen star

To hold us in its grasp yet mock us from afar

As cancer holds us all askew

To mourn the dying now and start a life anew

The shadows move the moonless breeze

Across the lustrous shore

As flames engulf

The anechoic halls forevermore

In fields the night is but

A thousand interwoven beams

To close my eyes and never rise

From interlunar dreams

My dying moment’s searing kiss

The final proclamation

Of what I’ll never miss

Beneath infinity I see

The radiance within

And what I loathe in thee

How did the source of all things grand

Become a mortal tomb?

How did such sadness stem

From love embodied in the womb

From earth the night is like

A calling home, or so it seems

To close my eyes and never rise

From interlunar dreams

The futility of being

The heavenly despair

The gushing smears of pain

At last unfurled

As crimson love expands

Around a now eternal stare

I dream alone

For this is not my world
