Sandra Adams Poet Free verse

Depths of You

tonight as we sit here
on the banks of the creek
the opalescent light of moon
slips momentarily
beneath a cloud
and i am swept 
in the depths of you

night's breath is rising
then falling delicately
across my almost bare skin
i shiver beneath the warmth
of your tender touch
as it mingles in

i see the flicker of stars
reflecting back from your eyes
and i am lost somewhere 
between the folds of darkness 
and love's empathetic hold                                                               

the incandescent light of the moon
casts a shadow atop the water
that dances in the ebb and flow  
alluring me further in the depths

i am swept away 
expeditiously by its current                                                                        
i arch my back and surrender
beneath its force

captive like the moon                                                         
within her sky
my reflection emerges
equally full
