Alabaster Bursts of Heaven

Crimson's luster illuminates a brilliant bead
satin strokes of beauty a bottle bleeds
scratch softly across this barren chest
and along with moonbeams shall you rest

Silver streaks of goodness held in place
passion's pure pleasure soon will trace
circle past tiny smudges born in haste
where one more night we shan't waste

Starlit moments soar as solace sleeps
dear reflection of radiance forever keeps
in gentle arms of hope true love is staged 
consoling promises from battle's waged

Alabaster bursts of heaven gently weave
Another night in comfort we shall receive

Hello Tim. Honestly a 7 on all counts including the grand and fitting title. Both title and entry fit each other marvelously. This entry is more than beautiful poetry with imagery. Be proud of such skill and talent and work that you executed. Well done throughout. And now I say let's here it for the sonnets.
