One Eyed Luna
One eyed Luna's hanging
from the rafters of nights eaves
While caught in an elliptic
Orbiting gaunt autumn trees
With bark as bare as kindling
Cracking through the rounder' beam
Of the silver maiden rapture
Imprisoned in the timber reeds
So when the wind blows the court
It leaves a thousand lighting bees
Parceling down to kiss the earth
And leave the mind at peace
For I've never seen a damsel so bright
When sweet one eyed Luna is over my sight
Tonight
In 28 day she variate's
Through magnitude and perception
Bulging as a plate of cheese
And others a crusted crescent
Like a nail clipped with radiance
My peripherals are in ensconce
As she migrates on the equinox
From Greenland to the Orient
September come the harvest bride
While October snags the huntsmen
Norwegians call her Måne
As Algonquians plant a dozen
But I don't account a name for pure love
When sweet one eyed Luna travels abroad
Tonight
Down Hyades to the Pleiades
She's crowned with constellations
Radiating eminence
Of midnights bright visitations
Stories say she's on the lamb
From a wolf who comes from Europe
Others say she holds a jug
Defended by a serpent
As Diana in the wilderness
Or Soma and his elixiar
A thousnd names define the goddess
Of the pagan pearl of mystery
