blame it on the moon

Isn't it amazing how the moon intensifies our emotions? Feeling loving and romantic? Thank the moon. Lonely and shattered? Just...

blame it on the moon
the ruin of the lighthouse
the sinking
of tall ships
wave upon wave of shattering
against the pale and lonely shore

blame it on the moon
the madness of the tides
the currents
of desolation
violent swells intensifying
the screaming of the whales

blame it on the moon
the drowning of the mermaids
the sad rage
of blue dolphins
screeching gulls plummeting
disappearing in ocean’s spray

blame it on the moon
the distance between us
the deafening solitude
of disconnection
the final uncoupling carried
on breath of barren winds

hey, love…
let’s just
blame it on the moon
