Tinted By Night

Arriving softly, the opulence of night Which exults an iridescent moonglow As heaven flashes its tints with delight To adorn the view… young stars in a row. Against late dusk’s chasm, rustling are trees Like silken plumes…warm gift from nature’s green Caressed by impetus of a flamed breeze Where no dark mockery can jar this scene. And not vicarious is my affair With love’s spark inviting another dance… The blossoms wing around through glistened flair When eves of August thrill, so does romance.

Nette, you write as a poetic and playful Summer gypsy.. carefree and in love with the night’s sweet caress where “He” is but a part of August’s romantic breeze!
