3:15 am

3:15 am…blurred red numbers tell as

I stir, reaching for what I have seen,

grasping for the moments spent in the presence of beauty

as once again you have visited me in a dream…

 

Pure white flowing whispered fabrics and butterfly trails

awash of waterfalls cascading and mountain top zephyrs,

rock face delights collect on horizons of hope

as softness frames your luminescent face

 

My eyes focus in the darkness

as your touch remains real on my skin

I am still while stars sleep in crescent moon hammocks

How can this be, I am alone, yet I was not, for I could see

 

You were searching for me,

barefoot on lush green vistas, daisy paths and buttercup drops

neath chiffon tufted clouds suspended

above echoes of love songs harmonizing with our heart beats 

 

Night outside my window keeps time in silent motions,

slowly sweeping breezes form rhythmic patterns

and poetry settles upon my body

as I continue to write within my now awakened mind

 

Destiny beckons in fruited winds

as azure eyes find luscious views of nature’s majesty

Your skins glows of spring blooms in petal’d bliss

and opal desires in the warmth of the day

 

But I had found you…you had found me…

my desperate wanderings have shown me the prize, illumined the joy

lingering in your smile…your eyes

your touch which stays with me even as I lay alone…still dreaming

 

Sun beamed passions follow you, caress you in

dancing shadows of cinnamon hair

breathing of morning glory skies

and shimmering dragonfly wings

 

At this early hour, with an apricot moon peering through the curtains

and these words which have found me

playing among my thoughts, I now realize

that my every dream is you...you are my poetry

The Rebuild review:

Gosh! all was ok as I was reading your words, thinking of You, your poetry, your words how they reflect me, trying to find a word to describe it, then came your last sentence and hit me! I also used it before.

You know there are kinds of beauty, yours is rare and of those few which touch deep znd private places. I know your 3:15, I've lived it with all its glory, mystery, mystic and allure... like yours here. You've written your heaven... You've expressed the highest, purest divine feeling... a true masterpiece of what it tucks inside the lines. a favorite to me. Supreme.

[Ken e Bujold]

keeps time in silent motions a superb image Will. the entire poem reads like it should, the fervent urges of a mad love poet trying to capture the imagery of his mid-night muse, for I suspect his real life muse.

really had a good time traipsing through the meadows of this one

The artistry you exude here is incomparable, Will. I love your expressions, the articulation you construed, and the sheer wonder of how beautifully it reads.

Beautiful love in this write.
I’ve been awake at these hours for many different reasons.
And it’s always better when it is passion causing the sleeplessness.

I enjoyed the word choices of “cinnamon hair” and “apricot moon”.

Also you allude to feeling music with these inspirations.

Music, colors, and scent bring us to visceral memories.

Well done and thank you for sharing.

Thanks so much Scott, I appreciate your nice comments and I am thrilled you enjoyed this.
