The Nights Cocoon

Cyra R.Cancel/artist

 

 

When ambiance of the night awakens
and the raindrops  silently fall
The scent of wisteria in the air
unfolding like a moonlight shawl

 

As blue topaz stars serenade the night
and dalliance of a whisper appears
Petals of red roses in the twilight
sleeping to the lullaby of the spheres

 

The murmurs of the restless sea
chanting beneath spell of the moon
Enticing the  lavender shadows
to emerge from the nights cocoon

 

And the dark appears like a butterfly
into the blossom of the dawn
Sipping of the fresh morning dew
like an innocent baby fawn.

i love the flow of this piece, one of my favorite meter schemes and a cleverly applied rhyme sequence. your wordplay is marvelous and the imagery is perfect.

To dream of the pounding surf where the fragrance
of my love mists with the beaugainvillea....
This scent of the tropics would mix so beautifully
with my stories of night on the Island of Desire.
But, it stands alone and oh so well. Great writing .

I found the imagery drawn from this poem to be wonderfully peaceful and soothing, like a silent scene from a beautiful dream. I liked the flow of the poem, and definitely the rhymes at the end, which sealed every stanza, while opening it up for the next.

No problem whatsoever, I haven't been visiting the site lately, and I'm glad there are pieces such as these that are here. Whatever you're doing on your few days off, I hope you enjoy them.

another beautifully descriptive piece, Rose...found the use of "whispers" twice a bit distracting...like accidental repetition..and wanted to see a different word in one of those spots...

but again...you enthrall with your celestial wording.

thanks Jacob...I will change that...thank you as always...I appreciate your comments...Rose

"The murmurs of the restless sea

Enticing the lavender shadows

And the dark appears like a butterfly "
The magic of the night and the images you weave are casting a spell on lovers who are covering with love's shawl from the breeze of whispers...Very nice...:)
