Recite Me



I wish to know desire's eyes
as hunger searches starling skies.
Let darkness brush temptation 'cross my cheek.

One night to dream is all I ask,
leave daylight's length to toiling task,
for dreaming's sweet and echoed loverspeak.

A single evening 'neath the blues
and deep'ning greens of luna's hues,
waste not one breath between our silvered kiss.

For I have loved you, word and verse,
recite me now, exquisite curse,
if only waking's ache could leave me this.


Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau

I have. . . and the sound was as that of an angel speaking from Heaven. . .

exquisite Claire. . .

SEA, Sven, Sunshine, sincere thanks to you. This wee poem evolved very quickly this evening. I'm glad it's alright.

I'm a fan, so what can I say.

For I have loved you, word and verse,
recite me now, exquisite curse,
if only waking's ache could leave me this.

"Let darkness brush temptation 'cross my cheek."

....classic.

========================

this is so very lovely...
so fragile and delicate of verse.
whisper brushstroke imagery laced with enchanting desire and longing.
poetic perfection achieved in so few exceptional verses ...
this is one of those poems that makes another poet say...
I wish I had wrote this.
excellent Claire, as always.

oh you speak to me in riddles
and you speak to me in rhymes
my body aches to breathe your breath
your words keep me alive

Some poetic creations I enjoy, some I admire, some I emvy. I wish I'd written something on this subject - approaching its written quality. (in other words: supurb! )
