Colors

Daylight turns golden as
we cross limits of time,
charging the air with
silent words sublime.

Encircling open fields,
do not hem us in,
kiss upon nape of neck,
let the sighs begin.

Sweet but never simple,
as grapes upon tongue,
words fall into poetry
in-tune we have sung.

Spooning to sleep,
beneath apple trees,
sun falling in sky
with embracing ease.

Colors of light I see,
reflected in your eyes,
sparking purity,
naked where we lie.

Nothing comes so easily
as something meant to be.

That was a beautiful poem!  I enjoyed it very much, and I can't  wait to read more!

 "It is in our aloneness
that we recognize our oneness,
even as the single droplet of water
knows also that it is the sea."Daniel

Corinne,
  This is a nice poem that is a little confusing. In the first line it says, "daylight turns golden", which made me think that it was early morning. And then later I read, "sun falling in sky". I thought, what's going on?
  I think maybe you should start out with "Sunlight turns golden" as it is a little less vague and a reader wouldn't think that it was morning. Just thought you should know.
best regards,
bboog

Corinne~

Oh, this is so pretty.
I could just picture the warm golden glow of the afternoon sun ... slowly casting her colors across the meadow ... reaching toward the sunset of lovers.

ABSOLUTELY beautiful, lady.

Adobe Tones

Golden moments paint the day,
blending now with then.
Silent moments clearly say
what is felt within

Fields of sweetness cradle us
in such free expanse.
Lips and neck and sighs progress
in this freshest dance

Peeling layers from our words,
joined in renewed song.
Sweet, the flesh beneath is heard -
intricate and strong.

Lying close in echoed curves -
mirrored, graceful trust.
Pulling comfort, now relearned,
drawn from nearing dusk.

Earthen peace, surrounding us,
matched within your eyes -
deep and open, virtuous,
safest port for mine.

Dance steps come so easily
when they trace what's meant to be.
