brocaded satin on furrows of silk
mirrored images soft the night away
love-glances glisten as hushed tones shout
proclaiming the cinderella closures of day

brocaded satin on furrows of silk
lens shoot then load then shoot again
chiffon swirls exhaling exuberance
pronouncing the jasmine-jewel strain

brocaded satin on furrows of silk
rainbow crystals amber the theft of light
stolen breaths suffocate the shadows dim
phonating smile-barks that cool the night

brocaded satin on furrows of silk
buttoned tightly to life-flowing trains
bubbling gently through streams of a lifetime
blossoming bold at the dawning of day

This is one of the most beautiful and serene poems I have ever read.  I love every word, but my favourite line is

"phonating smile-barks that cool the night"

- I love those barks too.  I enjoyed "phonating" as well.  I am not sure whether you sculpted it yourself or whether it existed before your poem, but either way, it works perfectly here.

This is very beautifully written. I do love the feel of satin. I loved the imagery in this piece. I truly enjoyed the read!!!

Owl, I am truly humbled by your special remarks…and as far as phonating goes, the definition of phonate is “to produce sounds, especially speech sounds, with the voice”…wish I could take credit for it, but, alas, I cannot

faithm, I am so glad you stopped by and liked it…thank you so much

TDoctor, thank you…your focus on satin is dead on…I went bridal shopping with my daughter today and we bought her wedding gown…she is stunning (not that I’m a touch prejudiced)
