Northern Lights

Northern Lights

Bruis-ed purple blue jeweled hues hold captive

a balmy DayLight's January burn;

 upstate New York, I wander with my baby;

Sky floats tumescent DayTime's Theatre's urn

Painted lakes ache, tormented by splendor;

Scalding colour paints a Winter Sky;

CloudLakes, full, chant stubborn honeyed voices,

Exquisite SunBeams  royal, doomed to die.

~~~~~~~~~~

I met a man; we touched across strange Seas;

He promised all Life's Immortality;

Azure Oceanic eyes' sweet Music

filled me so to force my Ecstasy!

Day's lolling Life in drowsy, LightFull Clouds

grows weary, moves in dirge down toward dark Seas;

the man:  you wonder why I must make mention?

He yanked Night's dark shades; he ruined my secret Seas.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I cannot bear to uncurtain my eyes now

Day's Theatre's disappearance murdered me,

or so I dreamed inside a lonely MidNight;

but Clouds' urns rapture's reappeared; I see!

Once, bruised purples, aching blues Lived, captive

in foreign Winter Clouds - enchanted me!

but Northern Lights dance even in pained Dark Skies;

they hold the Suns of undead Days for me.
