in nights rife with flourishing floods of starlight,
my heart falls beneath the swoop of a swelling tide;
the lush rush of moonlit magnificence running over me,
I sneak peeks at the brilliant blooming midnight hour,
my sight blind to all but the sumptuous swirl of overhanging sky,
star-kissed twists in the eager ether,
settling like a knot above us
just before it's tightened.
my fingers spread out over the nightfall,
you fill the spaces between this ellipses.
