Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Selenophila

*Selenophila

Ballet of calm swans glissades, silhouette
placed culled singles tryst, pond sides by vast knoll,
balters few burbled matches. Grasped sunset
whilst espy eyes pry, as through a peephole,
faint lights pair, a porcelain minuet.

Lain on their fleeces, woolgathering whirled --
supine visages, prompt smeared tattooed rouge
-- upgrades furtive vagary functions, twirled
tendrils e'er sensing blond frames ... whelve amour
amongst enthused pristine hearts, fused refuge
sonder renaissance ere night's prism, savior
per drawn orphic sight, a ringed rainbow moon,
selenophiles resplendent moored grandeur
flame, epoch pairs euphoric dulcet swoon.

*Selenophila: Loving the moon and finding it soothingly captivating.

William Kelii Kekaula May 24, 2021 at 2:54 PM Thanks, John, your assessment is true and that I make too much of it--best to have not placed, yet then I'd not known--you're too generous my friend, Aloha!
