Lifeless Moon Poem by Cat Hodgson

Longing heart walks up the dark trail
It whisks through the mind in a melancholy
The lonely heart cries for the touching surge
Smiles change to down cast hills and rain filled valleys
Gifts lay in the box of useless wood particles
Painted muse sings a song of violin strings
Melodrama as phantoms opera mooning window
Moon glistens lifeless to the surrounding stars
Why do the pains of heart hurt the dance?
Can I pick up life as a torch lights the night
Must the flame always flicker out in smoke
