“The ivory moon” #poem #poetry #writing

• 

The ivory moon 
Intoned lullabies most ardent 
Rich in earnest endearments 
For to serenade and enchant 
The bejewelled lake 
Whose placid expanse sparkled 
Beneath a star studded sky 
Of inimitable indigo blue 
As the elegant monarch of night 
Drew ever nearer 
To the tranquil sapphire waters
Afore the night ebbed to nought
A tender adieu for to bide temporary 
To its paramour beloved
And a prompt return for to vow
The lovers’ tryst assuredly to keep
Upon the very morrow
