the light of the moon
bleeds through
a torn veil
of cloud
and falls
onto her skin

pale
and delicately
traced
with shadow

the soft radiance
playing over
her marble flesh
the curve
of her alabaster
neck

and her lips
full
with the bloom
of youth

  • Jordan Busson replied

    I’m finding that I enjoy writing more and more: using a handful of words to evoke images and thoughts and feelings from the reader, and the writer. All the feedback I receive encourages me to express myself in writing. Thank you, Cathrine.
