Chapter 13: Strawberry Moon

Verse 1:

It was a full moon
It was a clear night back in June
And it was called
The Strawberry Moon
Do you remember the scent?
The scent of the majestic sea
A vampire drinking red wine
At the corner
Right underneath the cherry tree
There were no cars,
No bikes,
Just us
It was just us
And our heart’s desire







Verse 2:

Later that night
We went to a place
Where we could meet my old friend
“Dear Luna”, I said
And she welcomed us back
So we were chanting barefoot
At the edge of the town
Wine running through our veins
Wine as red as my gown
The sea, the sea
It’s always the sea
Deep as your soul
And when I looked at you
I wondered
How beautiful a human could possibly be?









Verse 3:

After a while,
We’ve written our desires down
On a purple paper sheet
Secrets and wishes
Voices and whispers
Was it ghosts, the vampire or was it the fishes?
In the majestic sea, in this mystical town
It was our heart’s desire
We had to drown
The one thing that you will never know
Is that the greatest of my wishes
Was to never let you go
But I lost you and now you’re gone
And the memories of us
Laughing, chanting, praying to
The Strawberry Moon
For love and diamonds
Soulmates and never-ending youth
Found their grave at the bottom of the sea
And it hurts so much
To think about you
In this moment of truth
