Descending night softly wrapping with sweet embrace,
solitude’s moment bring forth the haunting face.
A face which comes in those rare times,
setting the soul with peaceful rhyme.
Tis not the skin covering the planes,
putting all others in moroseful shame.

Nor the caress of silken hair,
even the eyes showing deep care.
A smile which lifts full ripe lips,
heady wine upon the soul sips.
Haunting the mind till more reveals,
shimmering from mists, my heart it steals.

Soft fingertips caress with the wind,
letting me know, you have come once again.
When I know I have you there,
only then will I take the dare.
Letting the breeze carry to ancient fields,
walking the path with what it reveals.

My body may be, my mind is not,
of the actuality which is times lot.
Across the portal you pull what’s me
lost in the mists of sweet eternity
All of this and so much more
as the descending night opens loving door.

Logan--

"Across the portal you pull what’s me
lost in the mists of sweet eternity"

Oh, each time you transport me to that better place, your works are so special
This stanza especially moved me
"My body may be, my mind is not,
of the actuality which is times lot.
Across the portal you pull what’s me
lost in the mists of sweet eternity
All of this and so much more
as the descending night opens loving door."

oh my...OH SIGH  
Logan...this is enchanting and lovely
what a romantic beauty youve penned here..
the imagery is delightful..
and the emotions are written with passion, devotion and anticipation...
you should kiss your muse for this one *smile*
very very nice write poet sir  

I know no one is to blame
In time youll feel strength when you call my name
I know Ill never hold you again
And I know Ill never be the same

I've been away from the walls of Passions
much to long...and this beautiful write
shows me once again how much I love the
sweet lure of poetic rhyme...enchanting
write Logan, you have a gift...and you share
it well~
