From your sweet lips I harvest shadows' dreams
That veiled in a satin robe of your mystique
Elude my thoughts, each in the darkness gleams,
Though true intent obscure; the course oblique.

But I yield and the crimson wave set free;
Release the heart into the passion's thrall
And in the shadow of the willow tree
The ephemeral mist night-dreams befall.

In the rapture's quake passion's petals swirl
And whirl – until the sun unbinds the hold
On gold reprieve - the night becomes a pearl
That cloistered shimmers and grows ever-fold.

I like the line:
On gold reprieve-the night becomes a pearl,
This is very cool, and much enjoyed.

CG...I liked the same line as Olias and also the rhythm of each line too. You should write romance more often CG..I enjoyed your words very much.Thank you for posting this lovely poem.

OLIAS - thank you for stopping by - glad you enjoyed the line...

Victoria - oh, yes, romance is what I write - have written quite a few poems about it - but, there is always room for more. The inspiration well never seems to dry up. heh. Thank you for peeking in and leaving such kind words.

BluesSerenade - thank you for your comment about my pen name - I like it too...heh...glad I managed to select something which seems to fit. And, yes, words of pagentry run thru my mind often - the trick is to condense them into something worthwhile - that is the tough part..

jwesley - glad you liked and thank you for stopping by.

James - thank you for peeking in and commenting.

The master of sonnets, these eyes never grow tired, to the beauty of your poetic quill, words in their disguise , unwrap , as new gifts unfold, each a trinket, a heart should wear....
