Shadows Dancing On The Walls Poem by Leon Moon

The dull star of Venus' past,
Drifting through skulls, white and grey,
Fastens the Moon to the mast
Of a Midnight epoch's prey -

Shadows dancing on the walls!
Each cycle to perfection
Dissolving in cloths of fate,
Opal drapes in reflection

Pupils mottle the slate -
Shadows dancing on the walls!
Shivering into pulses,
Future stalls, gasping ulcers,
Fresh-linen weaved from the soul
Shroud a halo to the hole -

Shadows dancing on the walls!

The substance of dreams consolidates
And blackness amalgamates,
Veins burn, mellow, and sedate
Eyes reflecting the Eternal state -

Shadows dancing on the walls! ...
