PASSAGES OF THE MOON
Moonlight bleeds through boarded glass
she sits, huddled in the corner
naked, dirty skin trembling
waits for the inevitable
the shadows can't protect her

Moonbeams slice like a laser
burning past her flesh
lighting her flesh
it has begun

Follicles reach for the darkness
bones stretch and crack
before reforming
the beast has awakened

She is the night
slave of death, she scampers the cold earth
fangs crusted with innocent blood
the night cries out

Salvation is near
she never sees him
only the glint of silver
that pierces her heart
and saturates the thirsty earth
with unholy blood

In the end
her frail, naked, dirty body sits,
huddled in a corner
trembles more from fear than the cold autumn night
a gentle breeze takes her last breath
and releases her mercifully to the night

This is by a lovely lady named Savvy. I thought it was wonderful and felt I had to add it here.
LIKE LOVE, THIRST KNOWS NO COLOR
How can you dis another
For one's skin color
Knowing that they're your sister or your brother

How can you look down on her or him
Because of the color of their skin
Do you not know that they are your earthly kin

How can you burn a cross
On the backs of any race
Do you not see your eyes in their face
Eyes as yours and mine that look to this world
For justice, equality and freedom

Do you not see the same blood flowing through their veins
Blood flowing with color the same
Flowing as yours and mine
Flowing from the divine into thine

How could you color-code faucets
Were you not thinking
Didn't you know
That, like love, thirst knows no color
That in all colors, we are sisters and brothers
