The sky tonight is drowned in treacle-
Star-mottled and
quietly flamboyant
Mother of pearl, heavenly woman
shrugs free her cloak-
Displays to the world
the silver shadow of her womb
Cotton-fog in dolphin grey
rolls lethargically over sloping hills,
Rustling breeze running rivets through grass
Whispers 'round the soft brown ankles
of an unsuspecting fieldmouse.
This night is beautiful-
Determined to inspire!
But I miss you my love
and the night holds no magic
in the dark hush of your absence.
Author notes
For the man with the smile just for me.

from the bottom of my heart, i find this is so beautiful, as if endowed with the magic of a silver dawn.

You are still as good as the last time I read a piece from you.
