Content In The Promise Of Love

Moonlight and candlelight
Reflect softly off our bodies
Where in the halflight
Are heard sighs
       Sighs of contentment

Shadows trace along the walls
And on my ivory skin
You trace your own shadows
Echoing murmurs
       Murmurs of promise

Silk sheets delicately slide
Between the two of us
As words slip from lips like silk
Creating whispers
       Whispers of love

Then content we sleep
Dreaming of the promise
Of newfound love

"Sighs of contentment"
"Murmers of promise"
"Whispers of love"

This is so beautiful Ruth. Sighing, murmering, whispering ... what a wonderful mood you've set with this delicate and romantic piece, just lovely!  

Best wishes,
/Kit

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought,
I summon up remembrance of things past ...
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought.

Wow Ruth!  And what a beautiful promise of love it is.  Very well expressed, but, then again, I'm sure it flows easily from your pen when Rodger lives in your heart   I am so happy for you both!

Take care,
Melissa

Ah, such bliss!  I can only say that you've voiced feelings I have known, most marvelously!  I'm so glad you've got Rodger!  The days are slipping past until the magical one!
I'm so happy for you both!
