Luminescence (Repost)

...for Hart Crane From dark to light transfusing in a flash, your silver-sequined mystery that breathes new electricity, it shines where none has shone before, this trembling luminescence, through waves refracted with your sheen yet show no movement readily, no broken sea reveals your rippled hand. Layer upon layer endlessly, the waves preclude all semblance of your face, and roll, so indeterminate their swell, that light cannot quite penetrate the gloom; and sun and stars no energy can gather to clarify your loveliness for me. Yet in the dusk your light still lingers, bright and undeniable, the mystery still haunts my dreams and will for evermore. Permit me to be by your side once more.

This lovely Verse flows so sweetly, Keith. I still love these Hart Crane inspired writes by you. They have always managed to wrap themselves around me as I read. Beautiful piece! Love and hugs, Robin
