Twilight reaches for the night
When darkening clouds invade
Covering the last of sun
With thick and dusky shade
Disguised within a blackening sky
Luminous shadows emerge
Eventide, sunset’s light
When day and night converge

Like a deck of fifty two
dealt haphazardly across
a felt table, you anted
your chips and caused
me to fold under your
skilled hand, shuffling
the Queen of Hearts
against the King of Spades
you fooled me into
believing I had the upper hand
when all I had was the Joker.

Asleep in the bed of an oyster’s chateau
The jewel of the ocean in illuminating glow
Pink against white against gray, simply grand
Mother of Pearl holds the sea in her hand
Dreams of the beautiful treasure she’ll grow
With one grain of sand and the waters below
Lined with nacre, layer upon layer
Mother of Pearl, iridescent purveyor

Contentment fills her restless mind
Slowly she steps, without care
Unafraid of the man who is leading her blind
Neptune awaits for her there
She colors his realm with a gentle caress
As he heaves a watery sigh
Her exquisiteness he must now possess
Underneath his liquid sky
Salacia, beautiful queen, sublime
He has fallen for her ruse
Quenched forever in perfect rhyme
She is one with her god, his muse

Who dwells upon the dark side
Concealed in the ebony night
Who is he who turns away
When hiding from the light
Of Heaven’s solar star
Casting radiance on his face
Hoping to wake the man in the moon
Asleep in outer space
“There is no dark side in the moon, really. Matter of fact, it’s all dark” – Gerry O’Driscoll
