Closer Still

Closer still Long of evening’s moonlit skies Far beneath its reaching light Passion claims a lonely heart As we melt this crimson night Deeply found of seamless fold Intertwined our pleasured play Shadows move on distant shores As our breath is swept away Fingers trace along the line Smooth as silk and spun of love Moistened dreams in silhouette Cast of sighing stars above Tasting slow the sweetest joy Layered close in rhythm’d time Dance upon these parted lips Fruits a’ flowing ~ tempting wine Formed as one in whispered word Closer still ~ desires plead Drenched in heaven’s nectar’d fire Tenderly to fill the need Clinging tight as mountains move Snow capped worries left behind Deep within this endless realm Eternally ~ to call you mine Good night Soupers

Oh! my Goodness Chris - this is such a delightful tender and sensual offering of love and passion. A romance delicately packaged in allegory, but easily recognizable - Loved it and a FAVE...Maria
