Cast a Long Shadow

lingering thoughts cast a long shadow
beneath the lambency of full moon
we twirl together, my mind attuned
within the expanse of dreams aglow

i hear your whisper fall in night's air
feel your restless hands yearning for trust
pulling me into your rhythmic thrust
foretaste the climax of dreams we share

yet do i dare love you outside of thought
taste the honey of your lips pressed tight
or lay you down on these sheets of white
inking you in memories as dreams sought?

Poetic dream written in ink that flows of love and desire. Deeply touching my friend. A beautifully sensual write that floats softly into the mind of the reader. Best of luck in the contest
