Moonlight Poem by Emily Casbourn

Moonlight as we see it
beauty beyond all else
he stalks his prey
the ultimate price to pay
not wanted to be granted
but he must do it
the knife slices through her heart
the soul was blind
beautiful as she would say
the night is his time to play
wishing he had a better life
nothing wanted is left
he destroyed his heart
her heart and theirs
whispering in the dark
he falls peacefully
in the moon beams
finally at rest
no one can confide in his secret life
he’s gone the mystery ceased
moonlight as he saw it
peaceful and calm
wandering in the nights light
again it begins again
