Not Moonlight Nor Starry Presence

Not moonlight nor lovely starry presence
Of midnight can depress your young beauty
Of splendour reflecting a radiance
In your wealth of grandeur a swelling sea

The passion you hug me with brings tremor
The flowers you make bloom in my mad blood
As your port in huge joy hits my breakers
The brook down the blue slope cleansing all mud

Envious night staring at the design
Challenging Picasso's orange and blue
Circles and angles that charmingly shine
In you and me melting in fading view

Our happy moon get smaller and smaller
Scarlet vapour of hug let's still savour
