Moon Madness

Full moon tonight and I must pay debt
Usurious Luna, merciless and cold
Comes through my window to collect her due
In hours of sleeplessness, a hundred-fold.
For what I took from her of lust, of love
Of murmurings on silken summer nights
She now reclaims full measure, yes and more
Turning to loneliness, those dear delights.

I wander here, I wander there
    Yet through my window see
      That quivering, shimmering dead-white face
That will not let me be....
            O Evil MOON - O Wanton MOON,
I'll draw my curtains tight
            And let the walls close in on me
         This deadly, eerie night
      Would I could mould my loneliness
    And hurl it into space
               And use its blackness like a shroud
               To hide Selena's Face....
