Selene

The moon hangs bold yet serene In its pool of molten moonlight When the night belongs to Selene. When the night bleeds aubergine Into the folds of daylight, The moon hangs bold yet serene. The sky and the ocean convene As lazy waves drag hazy starlight, When the night belongs to Selene. When the night sky crowns its queen With stars of the purest white, The moon hangs bold yet serene. Her opulence lingers between Fragments of essence and sleight When the night belongs to Selene. We worship her peaceful routine, Performed from magnificent heights. The moon hangs bold yet serene When the night belongs to Selene.

You have chosen some amazing rhyming words here that fit right into the poem. I have never before read "aubergine" in a poem; that was genius! Keep up the creativity.
