Divinity Nuptials

When the sky's azureness
goes dark,
it's divinity party time;
the sun is wedded to the moon.

Candles on,
stars in billions outshone.

Love that word "azureness". I don't think it is a real word, but who cares; it's startling, descriptive, and the imagery it creates is intense, for me.

"divinity party time"
oh Yeah! Original, and vivid.

last two lines are wonderful.

I don't think you need to change anything here; for me, this is really, really good.

Thanks Jim,
many words I've used here for the first time and wasn't sure about.
I am happy you've found it original and lively? What more would any poet wish?
Many thanks for your visit. Much appreciate it.

No wonder it is a short poem because the spectacle created in those few lines may have left you spellbound to watch and absorb...very crisp and effective free verse...

I'll rewrite the first stanza the way I like to read it:

"When the sky's azureness
goes dark,
it's divinity's party time;
the sun is wedded to the moon."

I had a problem with the lack of an article after the first word. What I love about this is its brevity, and the image it creates. I'm trying to relate this to a real-life cosmic event, but nothing comes to mind.
