silvered fragments of seconds linger
beguiled by soft tendrils of longing
as lips explore in deepening pursuit
of moon-dusted midnight kisses
in lacy shadows cast by nature's curtain
heartbeats echoing in perfect tune
hands travelling, remembered paths
to touch for one fleeting moment
let time stand still and leave me wrapped
within your sweet passion, as we move in
the flowing dance of lovers who have met
and parted...each to seek the other
through memories softened by the ages
across a distant universe of stars
