night’s alchemy

Fireflies lambent 
In twilight's emerald hue...
Night lays bare its scent.

Fireplace burns hushed time
As crackle of flames glitter
On evening's chemise...

Satiny stars flicker
Splattering across ebony
Breathing jeweled dew...

Night's alchemy lures
Syncopated rhapsody
In moonlit octave...

Sleep shadows the eyes
Like keeper of the night
Stars rhythm my dreams...

      1. I was actually feeling really depressed through the month of October. I can’t stay in Vegas for too long or I get suctioned into the past and its like I have to face a lot of things all over again. I also only have one or two friends I see semi-regularly so have dealt with a lot of feelings of isolation. I’m sure those two go together. I’m leaving back to Phuket in 6 days though!!! Hopefully will stay abroad most of 2018 and travel around Southeast Asia.

      1. Every one should read your work. It is loving, passionate, emotional, compassionate, intellectual, thought provoking….there just aren’t enough words to describe the depth, and beauty you write for us. Every time I think of you, and I think about you a lot, I ask God to give you a hug for me, since I am not able to :):):)

  10. I love this yassy. It is a bit like waking up from sleep and remembering bits of a dream. You can put these in any order and they still make sense and excellent poetry.

  23. Making me miss summer! Beautiful descriptions and words. Makes me feel like I’m lying down on a snow-less lawn looking up at the milky stars. Beautiful.
