fractured beauty

when the moonlight

shattered on the

lake’s black ink,

stirred ripples

thickened

till crests multiplied;

countless tiny

waves shimmered

on the surface

it’s a wonder

what wind,

water and

attraction

can manufacture

but nothing

can match

the fractured

beauty

I behold

drowning

in you

……………………….
