"The Moon's Allure"

A silver sliver hanging brightly in the sky

Illuminating dark depths of galaxies up high

Light reflects onto the heavens below

A tiny beacon of hope embellished with a glow

But beneath that beauty of the shining facade

Lies darkness unknown, a shadow of fraud

The dark side of the moon is cloaked in suspense

Bathed in crescent gloom, where mysteries commence

The veil of mysticality is but a masquerade

Hiding every little secret in a cloud of shade

But when reality strikes the once-beautiful image

All of its glamour will soon diminish

Fear and destruction intertwine into one

Creeping beneath the moon; nighttime has begun

The ghost of the skies, a mist of terror and fright

Buried deep within a false image of light

The evil of the moon is all that remains

Latching onto your soul with shackles and chains

Horrors clawing at your heart, the epitome of vice

A whirl of wickedness and dread trapping you in ice

But with the blink of an eye, the beauty has returned

The devil has vanished; in ashes he has burned

Although evil still lingers, tiptoeing in the moon's core

Disappearing until next time, always yearning for more
