Sunset

Pale blue Sky blushed prettily

As bold Moon gave a stare,

Starkly daring vestal maid

To show off her night wear.



Moon closed his eye in a wink

Teasing a reaction

From shy early evening Sky

Who coloured, a fraction.



Drawing her robe round her close

Sky hid her flaming face

And sparkling highlights appeared,

As lovely as fine lace.



Bold Moon beamed and tipped his self

At an amused angle,

Knowing he had left sweet Sky

With feelings a'tangle.



Still, he would watch over her

And guard her safe repose.

Though he nestled by her side,

He would no more impose.
