Red Moon Rising

Missing image
A crescent silhouette
against a tropical night.
The hot sultry air
refusing to lift.
Humid and still,
the silence complete
as garnet eyes
reflect the curve
of an onyx sky.

Parched lips,
dyed somber hues of red.
Hot cheeks stained
with blood tinged dew.
Graceful limbs shrouded
in gossamer mists,
Drifting upon the current
of a crimson tide.

The fire within
bleeds away into
molten desire.
As the moon drips
liquid heat
across our shoulders.
Charting erratic courses
down the small of my back.
Every path
leading us to the very edge.

On this darkest
of nights,

as the red moon
rises…

    Well, well, well this is fire dancing on ice.

    "Parched lips,

    I feel the fire you breathed into these lines and it seems like you have the gift of this very special form of poetry indeed.

    beautiful

    words and a nice picture too! good luck in the contest, you have penned fine words here!

  • A beautifully descriptive narrative that employs the poets art for description in a delighfully stimulating but restive manner. I was drawn, nay lulled into its warm and attentive emberglo, like watching final charcoals in a fireplace dwindle into ashen sleep. A very well crafted write and worthy of some of my points... PS good luck in the competition.
