Honey To a Spoon
the night sky wavers in your frosted light
imaginings of ever after cling like honey to a spoon.
you face the earth as sister, smiling coyly
from the cratered depth of dimpled cheek and chin.
edged in the kohl of Cleopatra’s line
your brows appear to question even starlight
your oceanic orbs dry of tears still twinkle
in the remnant asteroid powder of eons past.
beauteous Luna purse not your lips
let reflections of a brighter hue let glide
across your roman countenance so bold
and teach the fiery sun of catered glory
for it is you who rule when day is done.
*dedicated to my muse Rhonda!
