Love’s Light

In starlight’s soft and ethereal light
Love comes calling on these silvered nights
Under the new moon it’s clear to see
Love whispering gently and softly
And it’s during this perilous time
That love softly murmurs all is fine
Cede it commands yield your soul to me
Lay down your arms yield your liberty

But if I cede now where will I be?
Will love join me in captivity?
Or will the loneliness still my heart
As soul and self are ripped all apart?
But if love stays within my soul’s sight
I can just bear the dark of heart’s night
Only the thought that love will still stay
Helps me prepare for another day

But the lure of starlight is so strong
I wonder can I resist its song
So tempting to fall into love’s arms
And cede my soul to its many charms
Is the touch of love worth all of this?
Or will I be betrayed by its soft kiss?
I only know that it feels so right
As it bathes my soul in its starlight

Marsha


Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire

Ah Marsha, to dwell constantly in the place where dreams meet desires. Mayhap it may not be all it's believed to me, yet your poem raises dreams and hopes in me once more.

Gorgeous and romantic, as only you can write, Marsha....
