Notes About The Poem

hush -

I am here,
attentive ... adoring
a kiss, my single talisman
pleasing you, my only delectation
there is a warm autumn eve that whispers
daubed softly by a waxing gibbous -
a beach, bleached blue by its bleeding beams
what say you ...
will you dance with me
in the darkened dream that waits?
it saves its breath
for one tender song ...
of love.
