Stardust Serenade

The dusky skyline blends 
  the azurin expanse          
Dusted blushing clouds,
  mauve moon’s brush across in radiance 
over a star-studded labyrinth
  A jeweler’s den
A syntheses surge         
  A revolving  musical menagerie
Soulful eyes reflect 
   a thousand diamonds in the sky,
captivating cosmically 
   You found my light amongst 
the ambiguous 
   luminiferous aether
 Pure elixir of wizardy poured
   on its rivers and springs
 Velvet skin carbon spun
    bodies of water sway
 in sync across
    acoustic wave mazes, 
 twinkling harmonies
    in embellished realms
 A stardust serenade,
    swarms of sonatas
 shape Lidström’s lullaby
    Along stratus symphonies
I slumber under the starry cluster
   enraptured in its turbulent chimes,
...sequestered

I read it twice, the imagery is worth a 3rd read and it's imagery that makes goes somewhere deliberately, makes a point, paints the picture. Beautifully done, I'm sure it will be well received by whoever is doing whatever contest. ENJOYED

Thanks Andrea, I'm not sure if it was Lidstrom who composed the lullaby, he composed for the church. I'll check.
