BLUE MOON SEDUCTION - 31st dec 2009

into the night we spilled
weary, ecstatic, chilled -
they said the moon was blue.

flames of music leapt up high
towards the viscous vaulted sky -
they said the moon was blue.

crimson warmth began to seep
awakening spirits from the deep -
they said the moon was blue.

drenched in cosmic dreams she whirled
and dizzy twisted, turned and twirled -
it's the moon, they said, the moon is blue.

ghost child, woman, temptress of the dark
whisper of wind and flicker of spark -
it's the moon, they said, the moon is blue.

she hung between the sky and earth
her heart aburn with secret mirth -
it's the moon, they said, the moon is blue.

she rose and sank and rose again
purging ancient layers of pain -
oh damn the moon for being blue.

anguished prayer in every limb
she danced until her soul was numb -
oh damn the moon for being blue.

then slowly to the ground she fell
dead? alive? no one could tell -
oh damn the moon for being blue.

they dared not speak for fear to stir
the force that seemed to possess her -
be still my love - the moon is blue.

with frozen breath and halted beat
the music melted to the heat -
be still my love - the moon is blue.

and the fire with a final flame
gave in to its own infernal game
be still my love - the moon is blue.

they lifted her on wings of will
and cupped their palms and drank their fill -
of the night that shone with a moon so blue.

at last they stood and homage paid
to truth of love and beauty shared -
and blessed the moon for being blue.
and blessed the moon for being blue.
