Crimson Moon

Once upon a moon afar
I gazed in to the night’s bizarre

A moon stained crimson like claret in the night
Descending from heaven was that crimson light

It’s captivating brilliance soon swallowed by the aphotic
Flickering between clouds, its light grew hypnotic

An abstract remedy painted in red
Not single moment was left unsaid

Through the clouds the crimson grew dim
It was then the light flourished grim

Washed away was this beautiful light
Consumed by the oblivious and flushed with white

The light was altered ghostly pale
What was once is just a fairy tale.
