Clair De Lune

When evening dusk falls from the edge of night like a loosened taffeta from bridal halls the wrist pulse slows as the stars align their talisman to keyon thoughts of you She dances to the steps of light like a wild specimen heralding dark graphite tuning herself into the rocking motion of a philanthropic ocean; She is your clair de lune, your telling rune beneath the velvet cloak of a thickening eve she sends you dreams of love and fantasies that reign as easily as gliding rain into your hungry heart....

i love the soft emotional depth of this and an especially tender moment there is in a setting sun when the soft shadows fill the scape....and one of my favorite Debussy mixes well in the coloring of this emotional landscape within....those inner dreams we hold, a time we escape the fences of waking moments...twilight, crespuscular, and when the gates of gloaming open and we are free

Mystic Rose Rose, I wonder if Claude D. ever felt this way; let it flow between the notes and accidentals in enchantment of a musical staff. -Richard

My late father used to play a piece called Claire de Lune by Claude Debussy on the piano. It moved me as does your poem. Peace & Love Matthew Anish
