Constructive criticism is welcome. [bodytext] => Stepping onto a mound of sand with unclothed feet
As blades of emerald grass sweep across them
The soothing, frosty winds shower me with pebbles
I cast my eyes upon the night’s lambent pearl

The sky stretches with shards of sapphire
Echoing the moon’s lustrous aura
The water’s lathery waves bask in its glory
While aspiring doves encircle the stars

As I rinse my feet in the red ocean wine
Still staring at the full jasmine moon
The sky and waters mirror my star-crossed soul
Oblivious mind and spirit bleed

The blood-red sea embraces my soul
As sapphire shards rain down
The roaring tide subsides and my figure ebbs
Though the trivial mind wanders free

The Jasmine Moon

Stepping onto a mound of sand with unclothed feet
As blades of emerald grass sweep across them
The soothing, frosty winds shower me with pebbles
I cast my eyes upon the night’s lambent pearl

The sky stretches with shards of sapphire
Echoing the moon’s lustrous aura
The water’s lathery waves bask in its glory
While aspiring doves encircle the stars

As I rinse my feet in the red ocean wine
Still staring at the full jasmine moon
The sky and waters mirror my star-crossed soul
Oblivious mind and spirit bleed

The blood-red sea embraces my soul
As sapphire shards rain down
The roaring tide subsides and my figure ebbs
Though the trivial mind wanders free

Hmmm I liked your description. Really great poem, the kind of poem that make you want to go out during the night and watch nature.

There are a few good things to do when experiencing insomnia. This was one of them, my friend!

A lovely poem, Blaze. Your vocabulary is much greater than mine. I didn't understand all of it.
Does blood-red sea .... and shards rain down
have something about the atmosphere in a land affected by war? A new friend, Bizzy

Bizzy, yes, I guess you could say that it refers to a war -- more like an internal conflict.
