This Pallid Moon Superior


She used her initials

to find a rather exquisite 

pseudonym to use her pen


And just as delicate 

as her lineaments were

so was her choice of words


Her skin - in that one photograph

she showed the world - alabaster like

a shady pale as priceless as bone china


That cautious smile on her lips

spoke volumes, of an endearing way

to pour her love and loveliness in poetry


Where a pale satellite glorifies night's beauty 

unclouded, she was able to unravel all hardships

in couples' intimate lives and still capture its fairness


These verses speak of a loss and of a sweet salute

to a poetess so dearly missed, perhaps her comments 

as much as her poems, she with pen-name Pallid Moon.



Note.

Some verses can only be spoken or written knowing full well 

that the chance of ever meeting the one - who is the subject

of the poetry - in real life is for certain a billion to one or less.


Ergo, this poem was conceived and penned just because of that....
