The embrace of Luna wrapped the night
In arms illuminated by our touch of palm
The flame of passion rose to new height
As embers of discovery introduced calm

First rain dreams birth September recall
Where we met greeting dawns pure sky
Untainted love answered by standing tall
With first breath of kiss in lingering sigh

Always daring the moon to pull the dark
The dark of silhouettes in delicate trace
Whose hands have touched silken mark
And spell of smoke on constellations lace

The courtship of eyes waltz on high tide
Glistening on horizon of intimate recline
Whispers of tease flirt in cautious pride
Between fingers in roam to touch divine

I inhale while my mouth searches for fire
My trail in the warmth of your skin found
That I might find you still kissed in desire
By a touch of my pressed palms in sound

        ~ Whispering to my soul ~

Be not the stranger of my heart in flight
Reduced to such ember I have breathed
Each shadow and root hidden from night
In night of you my hearts amber retrieved

Should I find that warmth embodied deep
Allowing the essence of love become me
May I dance again ... leaving me to sleep
Between hands of night making a decree

Hearts erupt in quiver to release of surge
Massaging drape of eyes searching sky
As heaven and embrace begin to merge
When two souls collapse in smiling sigh


~~**~~
I never let one moment define me,
I define myself by all moments and how they teach and touch me......02

I've wondered if the day would come, lol!

   A great piece of work and I am certain not that hard of a struggle, it was always there for Lauren to rhyme in time.

     I applaude!

So many wonderful lines filled with eloquent expressions.
I really got lost in them all but these two hit me right on the poetic comprehension button.

Whispers of tease flirt in cautious pride
Between fingers in roam to touch divine


However, I loved it all.
You both should be very pleased with the results you have accomplished.
