Darkness Of Night

In the darkness of night
My dreams take a flight
Across the moon
My signature tune
Among the stars
Stop off on Mars
But fly high
But fly on a sigh

In the deep of dreams
Sleep is not all it seems
Heat is there
Flames to share
Take a chance
In loves’ dance
But seek heat
But seek a beat

In the silence of sleep
Lovers’ taste to keep
Liquid in sips
Taste my lips
Feel all this
Hold that kiss
But savour the taste
But savour the race

Deep within my heart
Dreams fall quite apart
Bubbles my desire
Held in loves fire
Touch the flame
Play the game
But breathe the night
But breathe loves flight


Marsha




Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same

I love this, and the rhythm with which it is written.

Kari love, better enough to take my ease. Better enough to have a few days to think up another challenge.  
Because I've not finished yet dear heart
Not at all.
Take care love

I enjoyed this..the subject grabs me from the beginning (I love dreams!) and the rythym and pacing is excellent. This poem would sound great put to music.

Marsha~

You are truly a master of rhyme and flow!  There was a hint of sadness, of yearning, where you could only find this type of ecstasy in dreams, yet this was also a lovely read!  

Take care,
Melissa

Rascalx, thank you so very muchly, this is one of my exercises in my less is more. I do tend to fill up my lines so this one is very brief for me. Thank you lots.
Take care

Sven love, the dark can be very interesting, well, you know it can love   Thank you dear heart. Shorter replies today, well shorter than usual love  
Take care love
                   Mushy
                      
Melisa, thank you so very muchly love, but I think you've got the wrong person love, I'm not a master anything, unless it's being me, talkative, never still, and rarely if ever quiet.  
Take care love
                   Mushy
                      
Poeminister, thank you so much, I was trying for that dreamy quality. And I hoped I got it
I truly do thank you
Take care
