Dianic Apollo

Dianic Apollo

I raise the eastern glow
While blossoming petals' shine,
The car of Apollo
Heralded in shades of wine,
Chariot rising so
To mingle lovers' lights divine,


Setting upon Her west
Diana fully in rest,
Now the night in repose
Casting Her moon-shadows

Our kiss, the edge of night

Lovers bare in full sight,

Promise love consummate

Only a fortnight to wait,

Our celestial dance

Reflects on mortal skin,

Engendering romance

For truest hearts to win,

Eliminating chance

Caught up with heavens' spin.
