Starry Night Over The Rhone

In the City of Love

By J. S. WadePublished 3 years ago β€’ Updated 3 years ago β€’ 1 min read
Vincent Van Gogh, 1888, Paris

Lo the star beam sky,

a dome of lit fire orbs.

Play like a harp as one,

a ping, a song of lore.

πŸŒ›

Wave tops rise and roll.

The moon cast in the wake.

Ever near, you stir my soul,

my love, my yen to take.

πŸŒ›

Luna man spy’s from his rim.

A wink says he has tact.

Eye to eye, I see him grin

and just like that, he gave his back.

πŸŒ›

The rill, the moon, the sky aver,

the pink moon buds with lust.

Cast your lot with this lone sire,

My Hera, mold me into Eros.

πŸŒ›

Draw back your foxy bow,

and let your amor soar.

To arch a dart, your vow,

shot true into my core.

πŸŒ›

Kiss me dear, my true love,

your lips shall be my wine.

A sigh, our life, all in line.

from this day on, for all time.
