A Moment

Finally, a poem of mine that rhymes

Curtains of lace
Awash my face
Imprinting a delicacy I lack

Its fine features rest
Fashioning a nest
To incubate the beauty

Seeking to combat the dark
Scrubbing the black mark
Denying it a home

Freckles nestle amid the pattern
Ringed by the cloth of Saturn
An unknowable expanse

Sunlight dappling its weathered white
Dancing in the evening light
Bestowing its warm invitation

My face lingers within these drapes
Still awash among its fabric capes
Reveling in fleeting contentment
