The Red Moon Curse

The Red Moon Curse

Red moon over silent trees

bleeds its light on frozen leaves

wolves prowl through cursed ground

where no other sound is found

Eyes like coals in steady flame

answer to the moon’s command

paws sink deep in earth’s cold skin

following the scent within

Bones lie bare where grass once grew

stained by nights the moon once knew

the hunt begins, the rest disappears

Blood will soak the roots tonight

and shadows feast beyond all sight

the earth will keep what once was breath

The forest hides its hunger well

yet every leaf has tales to tell

of how the red moon spoke of death

No prayer can touch this cursed land

for death walks here with steady hand

and leaves no soul to mourn the dead
