Arabesque
The Autumn mist
embroiders dreams
on scarlet clouds aloft
two hearts, one soul
forever
weave the arabesque of love
lingering longer than the sky
one Monet moment
in your eyes
slow kisses sewn betwixt
the wind and all the things
I cannot touch
and you…
first cup of morning dew
will always be enough
silver spoon that stirs
the cream
deep undertow of trust
gingerbread
in shades of blue
the fretwork of my mind
promises, silk amber webs
spun ‘round the tree
a thousand times
glisten
listen
fragile hues
long shadows reach
for dawn
and you….
my sweetest dream
come true

Dreams
dreams inspire the quiet heart
with wings the spirit soars...
to higher places ...edge of night
and love forever more...
gentle dreamer... dare to hope
give your heart a chance
you never know what dreams might come
with every new romance...

As I Lay Sleeping
Trembling, I fall
among the trail of words
you scatter
sifting through the hour glass
that tingles down my spine
sighs so real
bathed
in candlelight
warm, spicy oil
velvet flesh on flesh
soft touch of night
whispers beg kisses
drifting past perfect
where time is saved
for lovers
who cast one shadow
arched in bliss
long fingers trace
the smile of satisfaction
as I lay sleeping
dreams of a lifetime
once a new dawn
awakes my soul
with yours
as tide to shore is bound
so am I compelled
by the gravity of love.
