Notes About The Poem

Her Intangible Caress

She was with me, untouchable, intangible, and yet
she caressed me with her breath in an intimate way
on a balmy night in April, I shall never forget.
Patiently, I waited for shadowed clouds to fade away.
Then, I watched her gracefully moved among the stars, 
a flawless goddess in chiffon, her face alabaster pale.
In resplendent light she was robed, her majesty divined.

As twilight's sapphire haze deepens on the fringe of night,  
she captures my gaze with a mesmerizing hold.
At this paradisial moment, and in this Edenic place,
I am loved and loved in return with total devotion.
Able, for the first time to feel this depth of emotion, 
this piety that I've never been able to express,
I confess this to the beauty hovering above me,
and in her illuminated celestial glory, she smiles.
To search for her soft glow each evening, I am fated.

Dear Lin, your poem is a celestial symphony of awe and reverence for the divine beauty of the night sky. I loved how each line dances with ethereal grace, capturing the ineffable essence of the cosmos. Your poetic words evoke a sense of wonder and gratitude for the profound connection between the heavens and our hearts. I felt I was on a transcendent journey into the realm of celestial majesty. Wonderful Lin! Blessings, Daniel

I always think of her as being female and the sun as her male counterpart. Thanks for seeing the beauty and romance she instills in poets, Tom. All is fine with me.
