Betwixt Night and Sunlight
Wisps of indigo faint in oleander’s potent paint
inscribe invisible words of fate
on light sails of navy blue.
Night has come, Night waits true.
Lantern light ripples of luminescence
form mystical quasars with the quintessence
of a Gentleman’s balmy, midnight airs.
She travels green valleys, ascends castle stairs
an heiress born of Dawn’s delicate dew
robed in spectral gown of forget-me-not blue.
Forsaking her throne and Morning’s diadem
entranced by Night’s harmonious hymn
she traverses veils into gloam’s towered glen
where morphing shadows beckon and befriend.
Apparitions of fog, draped in netted webs,
guide where smelted, lemony-starlight ebbs.
Her ebony mares, painted with familiar’s flank,
pummel palisades of leafy river bank.
