Eerie moon,
glaring night sky eye
adrift amidst
a sun scorched sky
peers greedily
stirring fear-filled shadows,
where glowing eye prey
cower crowded in corners
of an arid clouded
heat devoured day.
Fright flights soaring
on predatory wings
strum gloom's terror on
faint heartstrings
stalked to a reckoning,
chilled by death,
still savagely struggling,
lost no more alive,
die alone in dark's loneliness.
Eerie moon moans, no less,
her soul satisfied shine
as her prey meets unwillingly
most merciless demise.
No one can save them now,
save the morning
bringing rising sun.
