The Moon Gets Carried Away

fantasy, infatuation, moon, nature, surreal

Night strides by in foggy slippers
all her jewelry on display,
and in awe and admiration,
the moon gets carried away.

Tide and cloud collide 
in foamy, see-through waves,
and bare-chested salutations
hold a special sway.

Though strength be but a pebble's throw from ending,
and life's tide be evermore rescinding,

none can deny such a powerful display,
when in momentary infatuation
the palest flesh
got carried away.

Cover Art: Yung “Nephele”

Jelani Aryeh “I’m in Love”
