Short Cloudscape Poems

Selene of evening
dazzles through autumn's fabric
as cloudscape hail her mystique

Guiding this pale roam
Moonlight waltzes on my trail
to brighten lackluster hope

I've watched the isles at dusk
Cool and mysterious they lie--
Where old and deep-boughed cedars
heave, as gleaned from a cloudscape 
on earth's threadbare attic,
While lines of faded stars 
slip into gauzy white--
to appear like brushed, eerie ghosts
on howling psalms that sought 
the need to settle in the vault 
of an empty, ruined church.

Slowly pulsing through glittered haze
Under cloudscape, her locks blow wild
Misty the blushed roses, ablaze
Moon of summer, warmth of hayrides
Enchanting peach fragrance of the night
Reveal your glory, dear chromed fay,

My eyes chase a Selene’s delight
Over hills wrapped in flamed crochet.
Oh, sleep denies a lullaby
No matter how you beam, goodbye!
