The Sorceress Moon

~ The Sorceress Moon ~

From the first whisper of dusk, bear witness
to each star as it flickers from slumber
compelled by the moon to enchant
that which she wishes to encumber

and the heart, oh - but the heart
only sees what it wants to see

a sky in illuminated bliss
the moon, a glorious wonder
but it's purely a celestial slant
sorcery, to pull the heart under

patience is the devil's kiss
where reason is torn asunder
what the moon wants, the heavens grant
and the stars amass in greater number

the charade is now in full swing
the view is ever so beguiling
like a siren, the moon begins to sing
a song both empty and promising

and the heart, oh - but the heart
takes the chorus to eternity.
