ME UNDER NIGHT SKY Twilight welcoming dusk on charcoal mask Evening merging night Cerulean dream and ebony darkness to fight Periwinkle stars twinkling in delight. Sapphire polka dots pasted on void cosmos. Luminous fluorescent glow glitters glistens Murmur of zephyr: Sky listens. Crowd of cumulus cloud carrying misty dusty silhouette diluting bright light of ghostly gibbous maroon Moon soon to be hidden momentarily in platoon of floating clouds passing by leaving starry dome. In pitchblende darkness sparkling stars gleam and glaze My drowsy mesmerized eyes to skip blink but to gaze spending sleepless night sinking in reminiscences blending in sublime silence. Quiescent dreams of forgotten past to scream. Yearning for bygone days to rewind! Ardent ardor to roam on past where I had left you. Stardust sprinkling on my emotive urge to pulsate and resonate. 09/ 19/19 NA 'Invitation to Play' Contest by Sheri Fresonke Harper Third Place NA The Dy Away Contest by Lu Loo
