Incandescence


     Asteria glides on a turquoise sea
       caressing Luna in indigo hues,
         velvet drizzles cuddle a wilted tree
           topaz prairies in fragrant whispers fuse.
             Golden fireflies flicker with wind to cruise.

     In honeyed mist of soothing astral streams
       my blue primrose petal dances in dreams,
         your halo orchestrates secrets untold,
          bathed by healing incandescent moonbeams
            in darkness your silk aurora I hold.
