Winter's Reign
Deep within a pallid night
moonbeams sing of shadow's flight.
A rippling cloak, on loam snow fell,
placed to herald winter's knell.
Whispering winds on bloodless lands,
a cold caress of unseen hands.
Wisps of shimmering snow entrance
atop the blanket like a fairy's dance.
Quivering boughs of pine and oak
vaunt slender limbs 'neath a silvery cloak.
Bare and black and laden with snow
the windswept beauty of branches held low.
Through murmuring limbs the wind did gust,
blowing spectral kisses of frozen lust.
The moaning zephyr to dark realms fly,
chasing silvery mists beyond the sky.
Towering empyrean on horizon burn,
blue fires of brumal sapphire churn.
Flickering stars of crystal light,
celestial sprites of an enchanting night.
Pale citadel over midnight looms
Cast blue shadow on Arcadian tombs.
Moon's kingdom alight with chill desires,
crown the hold of winter's spires.
