A Blushed Rise

i hear the whisper
of your voice
carried on the quiver
of hummingbird wings
alluring me into dreams

like a lyric adrift
on westerly breezes
it lulls me to sleep

on a sliver of moon
within its lambent light
shimmering timidly
we dance ethereally 
like shadows entwined
through the edges
of darkness

i can almost feel your lips
tenderly pressing against mine
as i curl myself 
in the depths of your arms

a kiss of crimson
against the horizon
awakens me
yet i am more blushed
than morning
in memories
of my dreams

This puts me in mind of an old song from the fifties that went "I Keep A Dream Lover So I don't have To Dream Alone." Nicely done and well expressed. Loved it. God Bless, JB
