Free As The Wind

Photograph/Mitch McFarlane

The embers of desire burn to ashes

beneath the incantation of the moon;

And the sweet honeyed taste of impassion

drips slowly upon the blossom of night~

The scent of a mariposa lily

lingers as gossamer fog disappears;

And the brazing sunlight of a new dawn

strolls nakedly in aubade of the morn~

The surf beats in an arpeggio way

as it paints white satin upon the shore,

While the breezes of the maestoso wind

gallops quickly across sienna sand;

Like the flaxen mane of a wild mustang

in the freedom of the vermilion sun.

You have such elegant command over your words, making me realize how different we are as writers, me having less control and knowledge over words in a general sense. Enjoyed.
