Moon sweeping gingerly over the crimson Neptune tides
unsure whether to hold her loyalty to the ocean or the shore
great sweeping kisses washing over to and fro
caressing waves cascade upon the stolid city wall
an evening beauty stands upon the tower tall
the moonlight glistening upon her golden, flowing tresses
as unattainable as heaven’s unrequited sweet caress
the mood surrenders to the splendour of forbidden wild romances
