Gibbous Moon

GIBBOUS MOON
                   
                  An elusive scene had arisen.
                  Ghostly gibbous Moon to glisten.
                   Pulses of heart beats to listen
                                      dancing rhythmic in delight.
                    Me, walking mad and mesmerized,
                    horrified and hypnotized,
                    bewildered and polarized
                                      on frantic lunatic plight.
                    Cumulus cloud in platoon
                     floating passing maroon Moon.
                     trying to hide it later or soon.
                                      At last Moon winked being polite.

You are an amazing poetess. I like the alliterations you have used, "walked mad, mesmerized, horrified and hypnotized" truly does make it sound like a lunatic night. Nice!
