Whose Muse Elusive Dew

The worldliness within the sphere
reflecting morning light
as poignant as a single tear
idea bright is crystal clear
and frames the heavens in her sight
though soft the fall through night
settled 'pon a leaf flirtation
awakens dreamy mist
sow the sweetest need sensation
clings a kiss in wild elation
and though short-lived the earthy tryst
a reason to exist
But rendezvous a bitter binge
though gentle love’s cajole
for soon the feel of daystar’s singe
O lifting dew from leafy fringe
no matter of the kiss they stole
the cosmos in her soul
Deep the tender-hearted flower
whose muse elusive dew
look how she shines this golden hour
evanescence is her power
as rays do make such moments few
alas, the mourners coo
