[hometext] => This is from a dream I had. This dream was inspired from a real-life experience. This poem, in turn, was inspired by that dream.
[bodytext] => The moon is on fire tonight –
The gods must have had a long fight. Humans, undecided what side to take Look at the battle and try sense to make Of this ancient war That has opened to Hades the door. I look upon the dead and dying, Some are cursing, some are crying, Lamenting those who killed in rage – Add to this timeless story another page. The burning moon inspires me tonight, Makes me wish I could take flight And land upon its lonely body And let its flames consume my body, Destroy the pain of this lost love That’s now a raven but once was a dove. Tonight I look upon the moon And can only think of gloom, For nothing inspires me tonight But the hero who’s lost his might And, leaning on his broken sword, Utters the unspoken word.
