Where moonlight makes an inquisition of the lake
Swathed in starlight lingers tender fingers purpose heard
Drifts the oar, drawn in long, serene strokes

Here hearts sound their deafening drum, accepting space
Excepting noise that could distract the trace of tenderness

Calm holds a hospitable whisper
Moving with the lullaby of waves that lift and drop
Welcoming my body in cupped hands

In aftermath of storms weakening the barrier of fable and fane
Here hearts cling and let the sable songs contain hypnotic verse

The warmth of admiration radiates desires embers
Thus lasting long enough until the heart remembers
Flowing out into concentric circles with the tides

Claiming you will know the hollow where my love resides
Bearing promise on the lips of dawn, quietly as night goes on
Afloat beneath the comfort of your skin, tie and anchor taken in

Lovely TD as always.
hugs, Chris

Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.

Kathleen, I read and think to myself, this is the best poem she's ever written, and then....along comes another one.  From the first line, this one grabbed me.  I loved "sable songs," (just one example).....exquisite!   ....jo
