The hours between night and day,
those hours, I played lady of the night
star-breathed passions bloomed.

I played the finely rigged patrol line
on the other side of this age
where flames burst at noon.

Fire in the sun jasmine.
Was I that blossom
caught in your rich voice?

Riding shadows of conquering air,
those hour between night and day
my neck became a petition.

Oh my! Click Julian Lester...and there it was...Wow! I was not expecting this senual piece but what a delightful one it was, and of course my favorite line was the last. One of your best in my mind! I loved this one, and the art complimented it beautifully.

very very sensual and what an absolute delight. I love the romantic poems and you penned it so very well. Loved the line:
Fire in the sun jasmine.
Was I that blossom
caught in your rich voice?

WOW!!!!!

Aloha with warmest regards, Koko

Thank you all for such generous comments. Re-reading this poem; however, proves to me that I truly do not normally write love poems, and in all truth, probably should not delve into a genre that has wonderful voices
such as yourselves.
