Beautiful Dove

Beautiful dove
perhaps it is
your midnight hair
shadow eyes
the song of your voice
that draws me to you
like a river to the sea...

What do you dream 
in your dreams?
I dream to know
your desires that sleep
within your deepest well...

Impaled in my chest
thorn of passion for you
I would pluck it out
but my heart would go numb...

In my endless sky
there is space for you
you the gypsy moon to move
a moon for my eyes to linger
I dream to see
moonlight trickle down
caressing the curves of your body...

Tonight mi cielo
I seek your moonlight face
the soft tender touch
of your flower bud hands
I thirst to drink
from your nectar voice
and passionately kiss
your rose red lips...

I will savor
the fragrant breeze
coming from the dark forest
of your silken hair
and climb the two mountains
that are your breasts...

Two breasts
two conquerors
that battle for control
of the sphere of your bosom...

My Spanish dove
you need not
utter a word
we are lovers
I the sun
you the lunar
we are alone
one the other
so naked
wrapping ourselves
in the unsayable...

Kenneth, this is beyond lovely. I love how your heart expresses one of it's own. Every detail above is amazing. the imagery, is perfect and sensual. You sure are the best respectful and sensual poet on the soup. I've never read a poem, that lead my imagination to it's core. enjoyed The Spanish Dove poem.. PD
