Wonderment. Poem by Kevin East

What
Coloured by sunsets
To the sound of twinkling stars,
Comforts a blue moon
That cries.
What diamonds
Light her eyes.
To cast a midnight blue
Over sleeping waters
With healing lullabies.
As stars extinguish
One by one
To sadly bid adieu.
What rose
Has petals so soft
As our dreams,
Floating on silver cloud
Under rainbows smile.
What golden haze
Hung above a meadow,
Whispered to flowers that blaze
A promise of brighter days.
What drinks in the sea
Like a solitary bird on high
Woven into the tapestry
Of a beautiful mind
-With great music nobody heard,
As we sigh.
And now,
Bluest bows
We stole from moon glows,
Tie our gifts of joy.
As fate will always employ
Ballerinas
To dance in our hearts
Of empty space.
Just ghosts of love
Where we left our embrace.
What wraps in a shawl
Crazy stars,
As the moon steps out
So lazy amid the bars
Of heavenly rhyme.
What sunset memories
Wait.
As I walk that lonely shore.
What wonderment came late,
Climbing on evening scent.
To tempt us just once more.
Before love came and went.
