poet and the mellow mon
silvery shades of wonder
in splendd austerity
wandering spinlss jewl
and you will rse upon waters
and glisten in a tary eye
and bring glimmer of love
to maudlin midninght skies
for your see to the west
and the lonesome star
where heart wanders spinless too
and love echoes from weeping cacti
making silver shards of glass
from needles, and blooming adoration
in cool desert night;
and west is a place of vast empness now
and lonesome night srrounds the star
and desert sands drnk
slvred pols of slt
at the feet of the poet,
'neath silver moon.

Poet and mellow moon
silver shades of wonder
in splendid austerity,
wandering spinless jewel;
you will rise upon waters
to glisten in a teary eye
and bring glimmers of love
to maudlin midnight skies.
For you see to the west
‘neath lonesome star
where hearts wander spinless too,
love echoes from weeping cacti
slivered shards of glass for needles,
white blooming adoration
in cool desert night;
west is a vast place of emptiness now
lonesome night surrounds the star
and desert sands drink
first fallen drops
soft at feet of the poet,
silent 'neath silver moon.

Adding your comment:
Having said that I realize it doesn't quite work with the "'neath the silver moon." bit...too liberal a use of silvers. There's a wonderful visual in this verse that just kinda eludes me now.
