you linger soft
upon my mind,
like dew does dance
on web in shimmer
bathed in early sunrise glimmer,
gazed upon a crescent eye
mere moments dreamed
in hush of sighs,
where light is lilt of laugh on lip
and truth is found in deeper bliss,
than heavy handed words reply
as fingers touch in trembled shy,
across a distance
great as sky,
where clouds do billow
reasoned greeting
measured weak, in short of life
so tender, treasured yearn to know,
that in my sight you follow moon
in cherished afterglow of mind
where face
is vision seen as gift,
bequeathed as beauty, soul to hold
in gentle waves
of minds caress
as feathers tickle memories
of sunrise circled, orange in glow
passion set, at time we met
