Poem Title:
Poem
Just outside my window a row of coned shaped trees bend their foolish heads for his attention. He can have his way with them........ yet with such a wily nature, he passes over them. Instead, he slowly slithers through my window while I sleep the angle of his glance makes my closed eyes flutter, and I smile........ His appearance, casts shadows on the wall, as he stares across the room at me. I feel him move over me I am sun kissed by this welcome intruder, by his warming touch, his flaming breath Dazzled by his embrace, I toss the quilt, and open myself to him He caresses so softly, warming my heart, and making me sigh... with gentle touch upon my face I bask in his love, as I lie in sweet gratitude, my sleepy state... enraptured with sweet contentment Soaking up and drunk with the solstice of his shine Outside, eucalyptus branches are jealous Impatient and longing to feel this splendor .....But, woefully,... even I....begin to feel his presence is fading As angry clouds return to steal away our moment He runs and hides! No longer do I feel the kiss.... Coolness envelopes me as darkness returns again His golden touch is gone, I am once again alone in the shadow of the gray morning light I must pull my blanket up and over me... to take away the chill Inspired by Miss Christie Moses 'The Soul of Sunshine' contest
