Earth At Night

A suave gaze, woolly texture, embellished its gaiety gesture The charmeuse moon, perched like a napping heavenly dove, Clothed by swarms of floating stars, glazing its snowy allure, Glimpses from immortality’s repose, a peek into celestial treasure trove, Cashmere sparks chased, encroaching vestiges of darkness’ wilting cover, Grotesque shades stealthily evanesced, like an absconder jilting a straylover, Rustling forests fanned their chastity, into earth’s soothed solitude, Only courting birds would through the soulful stillness intrude. Fireflies roved like blazing butterflies, mountains gleamed from sparse distance The night, suitor clad by fleeting flirtations of splashing romance, Demulcent breaths of pulsating night, inducing like zephyrs opiate, Fleshless caresses of moistless touch, evoked tranquility tunefully satiate, Heaven’s graphics, sculptured in mortal picturesque of majesty astral, Earth at night, an idyllic paradisiac mirror, of vistas ephemeral. © Maverick Nyambu
