Luminescence
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,
the 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;
the sun and stars no energy can muster
to clarify your loveliness for me
as in the dusk your image flutters,
scattered and dispersed it seals your doom.
