Deep turquoise brocades in pale fingers
The pleat of a January fault, pinned together
In the wariness of falling stars and icicle dust
A new moon flaunts bare bosom to the earth
Her hair astray in the chilly lather
Making wishes that vaporize in thick clouds
Falling gently in snowflake tears, evening clears
Folding sheets of gold along the dark creep of midnight
Turning shadows to mannequin dreams
Such poise in the offing of a silver sleep
To turn and tangle in a vanquished lie
Rising Celsius in covet tenderly so frail and shy
Yet just another stall of fate, such the light
To radiate of suns, worn along the rub of sigh
And all this time, to realize that morn has come

Good God there are so many perfect lines here, I wish I had written them.

A new moon flaunts bare bosom to the earth

Turning shadows to mannequin dreams

Yet just another stall of fate, such the light
To radiate of suns, worn along the rub of sigh


You should be very proud of this, its amazing.
