Nymph Yvonne
I came out last night,
Caught sight of dainty nymph
In drapes...
She basked in silvery breeze,
This quiet twilight.
I stared at Moon, silvery moon
- Crescent covered
All. You rose above
Horizon. Golden bulbs bulged,
Bearing apples; fine, straight,
Innocent nipples half-clad.
Altogether comely,
Charming powerful Spirit!
Could just be the guide...prophetess!
Soon, I'll come up closer
To the woods and azure - thence
Gaze, shall I behold you as being this
Graceful still, Yvonne?
