In the space between moments

0 posted 2002-02-13 10:02 PM


Whimsical

A soft dusting of kisses
Touch my quivering skin
--Sweetness almost unbearable--
And I abandon myself to you
In moments of velvet dark,
My soul trembling
In the reflection of your eyes.

Whimsical shadows
Fall like cloud-woven filigree
Around our silhouettes
--As our minds entangle--
With dreamy confessions
Of subterranean desire.

Your arms--like wings--
Enfold around my lonely form
While you chase away my phantoms
--With delicate devotion--
And so I gladly relinquish
My sorrowed, sinking blackness
To your silver buoyancy.

Love--capricious, yet concrete
Is what we have surrendered to...
And I know that in this submission
We have found Eternity.
