.


Night comes
And once again
Unexpectedly
There are
Special stars
In the sky

To feel
That fluttering
Of butterfly wings
As consummated
Mutual fantasies
Drift in sighing ecstasy
From flower to flower
In a garden no one alone
Can ever see

Time slows
To accommodate desire
As through the window
The moon’s silver glow
Moves with sensual
Staid regard
Across the darkened floor

And when the sun
Rising above
The calmed sea at dawn
Tints the mist
From evening charms
Still ascending with crimson hue

Blue on blue
Delays the day
For a few minutes more
While the world outside
Jaded sadly unaware

Prepares itself
To just go on
