An Ephemeral Beauty She Glides Through Moonlight Poem by Terence George Craddock
An Ephemeral Beauty She Glides Through Moonlight
once she was a sleeping beauty who slept by day
who woke to walk to rule by celestial moonlit night
she dazzled radiant in white light
that rainbow split to colour lit night
her dresses in pastels to bright
colours were transparent silks
filigree intricate jewellery in fine silver
gold adorned illuminated her wrists hair
the stride of her long slender legs
the elegant twist of narrow hips
an ephemeral beauty she glided
through warm streets by moonlight
her arms bare balanced her stride
as she walked glided through air
her hands glowed with a waxen
sheen like wild moon lit lilies
the lift of her firm breasts
the turn of her glancing neck
the flow of breeze kissed raven
dark night black shining hair
a face of mystery perfection flawless
enchanting beauty walks in the night
bewitching enchanting mesmerizing
male hearts melt in awe adoration
like a moth to flame
a deadly flickering game
a love potion of captivating
alluring beauty can drive beholders
insane in a frozen breath of desire
love ignites in elemental eternal fire
her matchless mate is a phoenix
lover ever reborn in pyre flame
when their immortal eyes their touch meets
light burns infinite bright in supernova flame

For readers who adore images of love romance told as elements within glimpses of a story, this s a return to moments of the beloved 'she' seen within moments of an unfolding story, like my early poems 'Snowpowder' and 'Look Across Time'.
