Silent Are....

Silent are the berry bogs
Dark, the fragrant room
Groggy are the nighttime frogs
Soft, the crescent moon

Silent is your voice tonight
Sparkling are your eyes
Billowing ,the harbor mist
Clouding mystic skies

Joyful is my sleeplessness
Memorizing time
Moments of enchanting bliss
Gathered in my mind

Let my lover’s slumber drift
Into a dawning beam
Soft purples of the haze will lift
The blanket from his dream

Silent is my tranquil breath
Still, my waiting heart
Soft my head upon his breast
That murmurs in the dark

Cool ,the breeze from window’s space
Pure, the hour of bliss
Wet, the lips that now awake
The fire in his kiss

Never has the spirit been to
Places such as this
Exquisite is the free fall into
Passion’s sweet abyss

Joyful is my sleeplessness
Memorizing time

An amazingly beautiful poem, Liz...
maybe memorizing time is a good thing to do when you have insomnia. Its better than counting sheep.

Oh Liz...this one not only whispers of passion, it shouts of it in its words. How utterly magnificent this piece is. Definately one of my favorites of yours though I do have so many of those. Absolutely loved it!!!!!
