Night Descends

I melted, consumed...as his love curled round me in the breaking day....there...I wept and I was not ashamed....

Night, descends....and love finds no failing
In its sail from my tongue......

 

 

 

 

There is nothing more fragile
Than night's fever,
Fluent
As nocturnes are tuned
Vibrating deep within
This heart...

 

Ascending
My soul
Long, slow tapers of light,
Stream
And
Fractions of fire are caught
 Lustered
Within a lashes length of jade....

 

 

There also,

 Pressed tenderly,
Lay
Slow indulgences,
Forgotten things,
That twine this body
In ribbons of light;
A winter-silk
Scarf about my wrists,
Roped
In tethers...

 

Feathers of night
Bloom sweet jasmine,
Teal threads of opal, 
Formed of minutes,
To steal in a glance
A glimpse of skin
A tender touch
Of cheek;

As eyes brim soul-filled
To overflow...

 

 

Night blends the silent pause
Upon my page

And whispers soft
 Words, behind lips
That emit sighs
Held in the plea
Eternal...

 

 

 

 

 My love,

Think of me;
For this is night,
And it is fragile......

Fractions of fire are caught
Lustered
Within a lashes length of jade....

Your poems are as a precious gem to me. I find such peace as I read. My breath becomes tethered and my mind liquifies within and around each verse. So beautiful are your words that this moment I feel as if I am dreaming.

Okay, I'll admit, i feel stirrings every time I read you, it's that affecting!

'A winter-silk
Scarf about my wrists,
Roped
In tethers...'
