A kiss from stars in the sky of night
Healing powers sent hurling upon the wind
Searching for the love hidden in fright
Two hearts bonded as one would intend

The colors of peace swirl with light
Giving wings to a whirl of emotion
Questing to reach what is just out of sight
Unable to deny the power of heartfelt devotion  

Small kisses sent in the midnight lust
Dreams of peace resting in breast of moon
Smiles of anxieties dancing in lover's trust
Stealing of breath within visions coming soon

A touch of velvet breeze upon silken night
Racing hearts of need and desire burn
Releasing to capture and hold with might
To the safety of mirrored souls we turn

Shaded surroundings of sensuality’s girth
Thickening wonders of sweet caressing lips
Freshness of lust looming in the coming birth
Quenching flows resting on thunder's clips

Hearts, bodies and souls melding into one
Submersing doubt into the tides of desire
Free falling past the waves we’re spun
Ablaze as we are baptized by the fire

Torrents of ecstasy burn as embers begin to fall
Bursts of new infernos sparked with each new thrust
Hidden fears of passions now answering the call
As love takes hold within words of unspoken trust

Time stands still and eternity whispers sighs
Wild rapids of white crash with a mighty roar
The bolts of electricity strike with thunderous cries
A peaceful breeze blows as we wash to the shore

Eyes of trust now dwelling in the souls of two
Whispered words not...as sighs say it all with care
Knowing now my path as I have fallen for you
This heart loves and gives a lifetime for you to share

Sweet un-whispered words settle in my heart
Assuring me  I shall never again be alone
Peace and comfort surround this brand new start
Slipping to your arms... at last we are home

From Mark B.---I want to thank Holly for all of her time and effort into this piece and I am sure you will enjoy it. Our styles compliment each other I believe and she was a true friend in helping to put this together.  We share a love of poetry and as I stated before...out styles compliment each other. Holly---I personally thank you for all you are as a poet and true friend...well you know....hugs baby!!!  

From Holly---My sincere thanks to Mark, this was a pleasure to write, given the chance to
write with such a talented writer and friend was an honor.  My thanks to the readers and
Poets of Passions for allowing me to explore in the beauty of poetry...you have been here
to support me every step.

Oh ... what could be lovelier !

'Hearts, bodies and souls melding into one
Submersing doubt into the tides of desire
Free falling past the waves we’re spun
Ablaze as we are baptized by the fire


'Time stands still and eternity whispers sighs
Wild rapids of white crash with a mighty roar
The bolts of electricity strike with thunderous cries
A peaceful breeze blows as we wash to the shore'


A concerted effort of beauty.

Beautifully expressed Butterflies and Mark! A  lovely collaboration that delves deeply into the tender and romantic sentiments of soul mates who have so fortunately found their true connection within each other. Excellent! Encore!  

Best wishes,

Holly, Mark, what line to pick as "the best"...
never matter, 'tis not a test...
but do conspire to write more soon...
as rose petals should be strewn...
at your feet and in your way...
as there must be more that your pens would say...

oh, well done...

congratulations to a wonderful melding of minds...

Pure Poetic Perfection....that leaves you breathless. How much more can a person ask for.....You two compliment each other in ways that go straight through a readers heart....filling it with complete satisfaction. Soul mate found is a feeling almost undescribable but you two have done it perfectly. NOT that that is a surprise to any of us.   Yes, write more together please....Pretty please...Take Care

Beautifully done piece.  What a friendship you two must have to meld your minds and write such a piece.  I know the joy of having found my soul mate but I also know that pain pain and sorrow from letting that one go.  No, she is not dead but I let her go.  Why?  Don't ask.  I am not even sure as to why anymore.  Oh, wells.  Great piece.  I hope to see some more in the future.

I had absolutely no doubt when I saw the authors of this piece, that it would be exquisite, and I was not disappointed, in fact pleasantly surprised at the way you both expressed this subject matter
Beautifully written by two great poets

Sven- EXACTLY.....and it takes REAL caring between two friends to be able to do so and I am honored to have that with her.  IF the "friendship" was not real and if the "truth" were not spoken between us then this poem would never have come about.  Holly asked me to also say thanks as she is real bust these days with REAL life matters of her own...so thank you from both of us.

Thank you Mark for extending my thanks I could not have said it better! It was a busy day  .......or was that "bust"...hmmmm my eyes are up here hun  

Cathy* It was so much fun to write this with YOUR (I've disowned him but will keep you)   brother..I'd never done a "duet" and it brings out different things in what you though was your "style"...Thank you so much and welcome home!

Brian* I value your opinion very much and it's an honor to hear from you~

this is "sigh song" magic....I had to read it slowly because I  was sighing and didnt want to hyperventilate...needed to take a breath a few times...I loved too much to be able to single out any one verse..but you can feel the love, and trust (amongst all the lusting)*s
~~so very nice you two...definitely floating on passion's magic carpet
