Notes About The Poem

Desires of the Heart

When my heart
was no longer content in solitude;

I asked;

"Oh my lonely heart, 
what is it that you desire?"

Softly it whispered

for her heart beats to ease your breathless sighs, so softness of her voice soothes suppressed sorrows - silent secrets still shield.
For, your hearts have no tolerance of time. In the reality of my reverie, my soul drifts to a place, 1000 miles away. In a night without sound, under a blanket of gazing stars. Rest your head upon my heart listen to it beat your name. Massage it with devotion let us lay for eternity. As embers touch the night sky. Under the modesty of moonlight, I shall remove your veil of timidness. With the tenderness of our hands, dance to the magnetism of nature. Tones of our eyes reflect like fireflies illuminating in perfect symphony. Tongue's lyrics will remain silent. Craving for those kiss less lips if we close our eyes it is not a sin. We will flow like rivers running to the sea, floating on waves of passion, illustrating a lushness of love, deeper than the Pacific ocean you are the canvas and I, the strokes of your brush As the innocence of night is lost, we merge like dusk to dawn. Yet daylight does not disappoint open your eyes my love, I am here. Once we were homeless, now we live in each other's heart. Simple sensual musing Silent One 23 November 2019

I read this before, but I think I forgot to comment. This is very sensual and romantic, Silent One. "If we close our eyes it is not a sin"? I'll have to remember that.
