 Once Touched In a silence, so intense Beneath the blackened moon, She rests upon a wicker swing With thoughts of meeting soon. Once touched by kisses, yours Of secret smiles, in mind, A gentle breeze suspends her thoughts They twist, they cross, they wind. To cloak the nighttime air In heavy, one tear falls. Lands upon one cheek to cool The blush of want, that calls. Unmasking feel within, Dark moments softly glow Caressing her in shadowed kiss, The stars begin their show Of beauty, they now burn And dance the night to share The breathless wonder, passions' hold Her hazel eyes, to stare. The silence of these dreams, Intrigued by thoughts of you, Frees her from her prisoned world And fades away her blue. Her eyes they closed, she rocks And enters other plane. In darkness touched, your gentleness Has shed her of her pain. A shiver, air has cooled. The winds increase their drive. Footsteps heard, she opens eyes, Her "midnight love" arrives To gather up her thoughts Her body, heart and soul, Carries her into a sleep With dreams in arms to hold. M 7*2k |

M, This was beautiful!! What soft and sweet images you paint. I love the picture too. Nice touch. Graet writing!!  LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Maureen~ I am enjoying your thoughts. LOVE the porch swing ! Reminds me of the porches of my youth, where I would swing and make up songs to sing ... didn't know it was poetry then. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
