Breath of Love

To inhale sweet fragrance, a breath of love Evening's light casts a gray flickering shade Beneath a moon rising and stars above Lovers merge silently as eyes persuade To fill this measure that a love yearns for Unrestrained trust, to share wants and needs Two hearts tremble as a welcomed captor and fall through realms where resistance concedes Secure in love's warmth has dispersed night's chill Shadows from lovers are burned by a flame and hearts pounding strong are echoing still While laughter and whispers haunt this domain Nothing is left beneath red sky of dawn No trace of two lovers, as they have gone contest Breath of Love 2/3/15

Your descriptive words say a lot and convey strong emotions without a lot of window dressing. Nice job.
