Night Balms

wonderful poem as always 
wow i loved it

Elegantly written Linda

Wow Marion this is stunning. It has a sensual majestic feel to it. Quite eerie too. A magical read that sinks the reader (in my opinion) into that spiritual prowess of the moonlight x 

Marion this is outstanding! I mean it, it truly is. You have painted a very clear image of that moon in the night sky. 

I am voyeur, I shadow the moon
watch as she trail's opal nails
through the gloom

These first lines draw the reader in and the opal nails tells us all is not hunky dory. 

As she helps the trees bathe
In the mid and night calms
As she drapes them in silver
In sugar plumb pinks
Scibbling shadows and pearls
From her frost glitter'd inks

What images these lines paint... Fantastic writing with flow to die for. 

Till reflections appear
Freezing stars to iced white
Entombed within crystals
Of mid and calm nights

And here in these last lines we feel that cold. We also feel the melancholy wafting between the lines. This is poetry of the highest standard in my humble opinion. It ebbs and flows and satisfies the reader's hunger for beautiful poetry. I absolutely love, love, LOVE this. You, Marion, are a talented poet and I adore your clever and beautiful work x

Its amazing what goes on outside in the dark while we are tucked up in our bed aint it .............. that first stanza stands out a mile Marion while in its entirety, it made me shiver ......... perfectly poemed my friend & truly x
