Artist Unknown

I found a soft moonlit night behind a willow tree
where thin silkworm clouds paint a fragrance of you
across an icy dark blue sky…

Is it a sin for me to have thoughts of gazing in your shimmering eyes,
longing to feel your warm breath on my neck,
or holding you tight and whispering chaste words of love?

Can I warp time in a loop,
placing me there with you, daring the powers above,
daring the night to become day, listing at sea in the fullness of noon?

Or should I render this prospect to canvas
carefully placing an edge of fine mahogany
frame?

Untitled and signed:

What a beautiful write...paled only by the heart that hears it.

Were I to find this framed in a fine art shop ... I'd buy it in a heartbeat~
