Music of the Night
Essence of night graces senses on balcony caressed
in fairest moon. A serenade of longing scrolls over depths
of love downstream to the Adriatic. All prudence portrayed
in austere daylight, forbid love. Yet, darkness holds music
flowing to paramour’s heart. Starry-eyed, an ethereal
sonnet climbs rose trellis to touch poetic soul destined to
dim as operatic dreams surrender to eternity.
