Cover of Night

Shut eye tired sun hidden, dark deals are bidden
               Crept beneath deepening mystery 
  Seen by benevolent moon, blatant sins forgiven


   White kindness laid table service savoury array
              Ghost woven cloth spread mistily
   Holds hottest options which daylight won't avail


  Atop endless selections, ravenous diner imbibes
              Most dishes devoured deliciously
Serene spotted moon smiled fat will never chastise


  Night crumbles memory, black chocolate splinter 
            Kept quiet in ten hour slice of history
Melted by Summer sultry, frozen rose stem of Winter


   Jovial diamond jives, moon lake ripple refraction 
            Dwells in water's waver inconsistently
Told lies transform to truth for short lived satisfaction 


   Lured by beguiling bounce, harlequin blanket swim
            Brings ill considered next day ignominy 
  Impure intent in obscure of nuit secures sinful whim





                              8th December 
                  - Wait for starlight surrender -
