Shadows Dancing in the Moonlight

as I kneel- a silk leaf,
                    in a river of desire

I feel you--
        the yellow moon,
        with ribbons of light;
                                      peel me naked,
                                      among silent stars

and as a pattern of
sultry thoughts,          become-
                                      layered upon ripples
                                      in cadence…
                                      to your distant shore

I shimmer to golden promises,
in colors, of…  a familiar song

and somewhere in-between,
in shadows of night
                                          …I rise in the mist
                and find, a bit of soft green,
                under my feet

to dance with you;
                                …with love filled eyes

    Well, my special friend, you are quite the romantic. I would like to say more about your ruminations, but I shall stick to your poetry!

    Imagery makes me want to jump through the computer and meet this melter of hearts. Shy is just a word. I would settle for you reading the words that you cannot speak. Not afraid to embarrass, I review your romantic verse through loving eyes, and challenge you to keep penning these romances.
    XOXO
