~*~

Across black skies
With starlight twinkling,
Sweet whispered love
Rings thru' the nite,
With kisses soft
And touching tender,
Two lovers hold
Each other tight.

Moonlight streaming
Thru' open shutters,
Flickering candles
Dance on the walls,
Scent of lilacs
Fills bed chamber,
While deep in woods,
A lone wolf calls.

Hunger fuels
The fires of passion,
Hot flames lick
Sleek unclad skin,
One song they sing
As ardor rises,
At peak crescendo
He enters in...

Joined as one,
They breathe together,
Two loving hearts
Now sing one tune,
In tight embrace
They dream of morrows,
While flames grow dim
With sinking moon.

Then sun appears
In golden glory,
Stirring them
To new refrain,
From dying embers
The phoenix rises,
And lovers love,
Yet once again...

~*~

Linda,

This is perfectly beautiful. I loved just rereading and the part of the wolf.  Enjoyed greatly.


Hugs, Pat

Love makes the world go 'round--and hate stops it...The news has really been getting me down--especially the news about the POWs. I thought I'd write something that would make me feel better...and it does help a little bit--but my heart is still heavy.

Peace & Light,
EA

I love the sound of a wolf baying at the moon--especially when I am in the cottage safe and warm and snuggly...  

Warm bedtime hugs,

Linda, You have a heart filled with passion and love and it came storming through in this wonderful write.

The news is dreadful and like you, I am feeling so dark and dismal. The 24/7 coverage is so difficult  to watch, yet reality reminds me that 18 and 20 year old babies are living it. Darn it.

Hugs and prayers for our trooops, Marti

Now Linda...who is calling whom a master?  [Or was that mistress?]   Seems to me, my dear, that you flame the flames upon the pages quite well...

and for this?

I thank you!

A response that warmed my heart!

With God as my witness, I broke into gales of laughter when I wrote:  

"Then sun appears
In golden glory
Stirring them
To new refrain."

I thought out loud, "that Sun of ours sure gets around!"  

Love & Light,
Linda

Noah ~

Love can appear when you least expect it. By continuing to live your life on such a high and loving vibration, God will reward you in divine time--and it will be so spleniforous that the only tears that you will ever shed will be those of utter and complete joy! You are a vessel of love and God will not allow you to go run on empty! When love does find you, drink to capacity and then send the overflow back out into the world...  

Love & Light, Dear One,
Linda xo

Dang, woman! LOL Here I have been shivering all day... our building services department seems to believe that the sun peeking out is an invitation to crank up the air conditioner... and it's tough to type when you're trying to sit on your fingers to keep them warm! LOL Little did I know that all I needed to do was read your poem. LOL This gives shivers of a different variety! LOL

Beautiful work! *S*
