I once imagined you
Cherished and sheltered me
With your golden light of
Maternity
My distant Mother Moon
🌑🌒🌓🌘🌑
You looked on wide-eyed
Reticent in the face of my reality
I howled for mercy
Labeled wild and unruly
My broken hymn
The cries of the despised
Rang out night after night
Falling on deafened skies
🌑🌒🌓🌘🌑
I chafe to think how
I looked up to your
Eternal scrutinizing glow
Only now I realize
Your mute disapproving
Glowers through the
Gloaming of childhood horrors
Are all I've ever known
🌑🌒🌓🌘🌑
Even now, I sit in mourning
At the atrocities
Tacitly witnessed
The tears and blood gone
Unavenged
My shattered world
A life lived in
Full eclipse

CH 20~ Party Down
Argento’s ninth (eighteenth in earth years) Birthday came and went Thursday, the thirteenth, and he’d already received his father’s gift, if you could call it that. You had to commit a fairly serious infraction to be cut off; the Arch-Baron was keeping up appearances and maintaining his own reputation as much as any sense of love or attachment to Argento with his “gift.”

With the moon as my ruling celestial body (Cancerian), this poem was immediately loved after reading the title. Truly creative and crafted to a high standard in my VERY biased BUT valid opinion though 😁 Write Vibes your way K.B.!
