Sparkling Devotion

When sky’s curtains drape the clouds A mind reels from bruises of the day, Listening in stillness to the rhythm of breath And in this space, his eyes whisper Of moonlight’s rock-a- bye, swaying the gait, Waiting for the promised lull of the wind Softly pinching a gaze upon light’s pause-- And finding his woman tumble in sighs Trickling, gushing into a weary haze. Stars, fiddling serenades of robins’ tweet, Absorb tired thoughts to drift like a song , As fragrant air from of window weaves a hum Blending with the melody of celestial sparks. Then, like an open flight,her heart inclines To slide on rails cuddled by gasps of demise--- While his love-light echoes:” Hush, my dear Sleep tight as lashes drop; Dream with me, Play our song to the tune of warm chorus.” And the world passes by in a quiet tunnel, Where morn holds starlight's devoted keep.
