~knight~ Poem by Sinnaminsun Sinnaminsun

How dark that shadow you cast
over moonlight's silver strings,
You masked to blackest pitch
it is the night you bring.

Under moon high and laying low
within your raven wings,
I toss about throwing stars out
alighting far darkened things.

Wanes the moon who paled too soon
for knight his sword is swift,
When falls upon cleaves deep and long
until his darkness lifts.

How dark the shadow that's cast
upon moonlight's silver strings,
You, masked to blackest pitch
It is the night you bring.

Under moon high and laying low
within your raven wings,
Tossing about, burning stars out
Blacken far-darkened things.

Waning moon who pales too soon
The knight, his sword sinks swift,
When falls upon cleaves deep and long...
Until his darkness lifts.
