Eventide

idol of my affection 
my moon 

hair of night 
and eyes of an even darker one. 

day’s fair dreams 
cannot fathom 
such a muse 

splitting midnight skies
unsheathe a 
celestial beauty 
worthy of worship 

the eternal mother 

brimming with lustre
an argent nobility 

swathed in ivory
gossamer tufts 

a crownless queen 
hung

in a starless 
sky.
