Lustrous Luna

Lustrous Luna works midnight magic
 As it glitters golden in rhythmic ripples
 Onto ocean's briny billows,
 Distant diamonds flicker a twinkling tune
 as winds whoosh through the palm trees,
 Lovers lost in enchanted embrace
 Find fulfillment in gleeful gazes

 This is  an example for Contest, 
 Similar Vowel sounds are allowed, (lines 3 and 6), but  in 2 lines only.

a fantastic example, Joseph. I don't know if I asked you already, but can the alliteration be inside or at the end of words as well? Sorry if I already asked and you answered me. I am getting so forgetful!
