Tonight Comes

In silvered slippers a spirit appears
a waft of breeze will blow her near
she is an apparition to only you
but in your reverie, what could she do?

She knows your heart, your soul, your mind
she is but a reflection of fantasies kind
she knows your pain, your hopes, it's true
she embodies the fire of golden red gone blue.

An apparition of common's sense
she may clutch your recompense
as to her you may yearn to aver
and in your fancy hold her near.

She will stroke your face and whisper
and all you will crave is just to kiss her
as her sweet siren's song is sung
and in that moment, the tonight becomes

a treasured instant, the import will pass
as you cling to memories past
in silvered slippers a spirit appears
and in your fancy, you hold her near.

very cool Sun, mystic and cryptic...
I liked the essence of this poem much...
as well as the rhyme and pace..
it built up in its flow
very cool, indeed

Sigh very beautiful, this one has me floating in the clouds.

a treasured instant, the import will pass
as you cling to memories past
in silvered slippers a spirit appears
and in your fancy, you hold her near.

The silvered slippers gave an interesting visual appeal to this phantom of the night

has to go through the white heat of the furnace to become

Karilea,
A delighted awe-struck reader is blinking in a deep reverence to you... my thought channels have become single tracked single issued... and all the words in my head are unifying to one word... MAJESTIC...

regards,
sudhir
p.s. the title reminded me of a Joe Cocker song When the night comes... initially, but that song - in fact one of my liked ones -is way out of league....

Karilea, my 'silver-slippered' friend~

Lovely, lovely, lovely.
A quality of the mystique that is you.

'and in that moment,
the tonight becomes
a treasured instant'


Yep !  It's got your signature all over it !
Lovely !
