Heaven's open boudoir emits an eerie harlequin glow

Lithely sliding over the darkened glass sheet below

─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───

Viridescent ribbon, radiance dances aloft

Velvet reflections, delicate, feather soft

─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───

No harsh beaming shafts of illumination

Clandestine kiss in the gloaming, free of hesitation

─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───

The instant absinthe lips inevitably meet

Chrysolite angel wings flap and beat

─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───

Whispers perceived with the faculty of sight

Ripples cast in absolute silence release a shiver of delight

─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───

Star-crossed lovers in parallel repose

Flares of desire fuel chartreuse flows

─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───

Coruscating across the northern sky

Forbidden tryst, brazenly meeting at eventide

─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───

Evanescent peridot veil undulating

Quavering essence caresses the maiden awaiting

─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───

Pulsing with vibrant, vacillating, verdigris

Transmitting a mirrored presence, absorbed by the Stygian sea

─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───

Sheer curtains close at the setting of the storm

Solar winds rustle, drawn at dawn on sheer lime cords
