Light of the Moon Beams Down On Me

Pre-Raphaelite Ekphrastic Series #3 Moonbeams

By K.B. Silver Published 5 months ago 1 min read
Moonbeams by Evelyn De Morgan from Wikiart.org

Each night ends

Staring into the

Seeping tenebrious veil

⋆。゚︎☪︎⋆。゚︎

As silence

Relinquishes her hold

Drops of pink and gold

Saturate, spreading

A susurrus erupts

In the lapping surface

A single ripple

Spreads for miles

Unaffronted

Graced by astral maidens

Fair and gleaming

⋆。゚︎☪︎⋆。゚︎

Angelic hands entwined

Chains of whimsy

Locked in a line

Trailing from the

Moon’s open window

Wicking up dreams to

Escape our reality

Fuel for Morpheus’

Quixotic territory

⋆。゚︎☪︎⋆。゚︎

Blissful fantasies of

A starry sea

Encapsulate my

Imaginings

Afloat motionless in a

Hollowed out trunk of

Latent desire

Waves sanding the

Roughs longing inspires

Moonbeams bouncing off

Glimmering silver isles

⋆。゚︎☪︎⋆。゚︎

Sprays of

Celestial spun copper

Bursting from

Champagne clouds of infinity

Against a sky

Dusted violet shades of divinity

Veined with

Crackling blue electricity

Powering cosmic

Churning winds of phantasy

Graced by the

Silken caress of destiny
