Waning Crescent

Arbiter star
aloof to eyes
caught in a trance
fables apiece
artless roam arrest
promises guise
complicit affair
strays guileless caprice

Muddle of minds 
in wanton tumble
senseless and reckless
against fugitive shame
e'er betray touch
lack fingers fumble
its lewd intents
stead hearts lay aim

Beheld afar
in quantum expanse
conservative pose
sketched silhouette
art envisions
maestro entrance
sparkled chamber
stars minuet

Dulcet nightwings
winks in fleeing
arcade charted
ambient frame
ephemeral epoch
begs a freeing
golden chariot
star's anew claim

Michelle Faulkner Date: 8/20/2021 12:19:00 PM This is a very worthy contender for the anthology, William, so evocative, I especially like 'fugitive shame' and 'sketched silhouette' - as beautiful and beguiling as the stars themselves!
