Transcendental Sonnet #1311:
Lunatics and Lovers

let the dance begin~*

Lunatics and lovers lie awake
Both of us driven mad by the moon
Rising now in silence for her sake
To dance with Lady Luna and swoon
In the ring to which she has called us

All of us are lunatics tonight
Moon-magic madness has enthralled us
Ancient but never felt quite like this
Dancing in the blue and bone-white light
Of the full moon's blue and bone-white kiss

Blue and bone-white hot and cold the same
Blue as ice bone-white as hottest fire
Dance of death and life ring of desire
On my heart your name seared by cold flame
