Alternating stanzas; last line becomes first line of following stanza. To those who know us, it's quite obvious who wrote which ones. I think it ended up being some kind of battle between us with the idealist trying to paint a more peaceful scene, and me trying to take it for a darker turn :P I love how duet collabs somehow always make sense.
Swallowing the soft quiet air
I stare at the moon, so round and fair
Back on the road silently breathing
Night crickets humming and singing
Night crickets humming and singing
Unaware of what the night is bringing
Death and decay upon the wind
Like salt stinging the wound of sin
Like salt stinging the wound of sin
Like flesh bleeding with a prickly pin
The lifeless night speaks to me
The mirror moon sparkling clean
The mirror moon sparkling clean
Turns away from midnight screams
Such filthy souls are beneath her
She hangs in the sky, a bystander
She hangs in the sky, a bystander
Watching knowingly the mortal blunders
Majestic and cold, mighty and high
Only stars fit to take the same sky
Only stars fit to take the same sky
To grace the night when no birds fly
The only light amidst the dark
Beside the moon beaming stark
Beside the moon beaming stark
It lights the future of those bleak and dark
Everyone adores the nerve-calming moon
Even the mochii making hares on the moon (LOL)
Even the mochii making hares on the moon
failed to see the dish run away with the spooon
The cat plays her fiddle, high and sweet
They part for the night, till again they meet
(Okay so the last stanza had no relation to the rest of the poem, but whatevs.)
