Is it about cedars after midnight?

their latent bodies flushing copper
sheen in moonlight
moist dew fingers
of hungry stare & heat
quietly touching a
scarf of summer warmth
about their truth
for things they were and yet to be
coin makers of secret waters
everlasting flow
growing in the mind of Galilee
humid souls
Venus takes her bow

their musical whispers
shall see precise ecstasy implode
nightingale’s east breeze kind
wide in sea of half shadow
collapses down aside
long married Persian roses
dreaming human sounds

now the world light

golden bracelets
jingle a fragrant expanse
manna-dew sentimental
leafy quiet moments
plucking fulfillment
from the air

patterns constructed
by a mind of lutes
fidgets of sap
oozing lush swells
escaping
in an ocean of heaven’s
mortality

hunger chasing colors
of ambition
of uncontrollable wanton
red blossoms
slide down the neck of spiritual
deeply wound on bare shoulders
thigh
mouth
and tongue
have dared their coat
purse of fire crowns
paranormal calls
passing perfume to the wind
becoming molecules of
gushing hum song
pouring foam
of evening gardens
heart of cedar
drumming poem

after midnight
               bare
                     fluorescence
                                  becomes
mind
         of
                flesh

This is beautiful.
The title drew me

It is several worlds
on several planes...

all delightfully dripping
with a serenely keen
sensitivity...

wonderful read!

The pure genius of His creation unfolds for minds like yours.
One day, one sunset, one garden filled with His beauty,
and you have painted it well with your words.  A beauty, LJ.
