Spinneretta
How blessed was I to find you twined the foam
Among the shells and spindrift you called home
Sweet-spinning tales of sails and seas of suns
To wrap me tight with myst'ry 'midst the gloam
You bound great ships for trips across the sky
Broad sails made light with angels' wings to fly
A darkened sea of night and maelstroms, bold
And deep as any dreams that might steer nigh
You wound me stories fraught with ire, askance
Great battles waged for distant shores to dance
And with your grand penchant for lovers' duels
Each ending dripped with honey-sweet romance
You are the bright that did, with night, conspire
With Luna's beautied madness, feign to buy her
One starry necklace placed to grace the heavens
Then twirled with Mars to set those stars afire
Soft-shined within your eyes, a moon and sea
That whispered to my heart what love could be
All strung like precious pearls to trim your lips
*Celestial musings that you said ... to me.
