Kiss me when the sun sleeps

When will the sky sing to the abandoned arcs of my sonnets? 
They remain subtle, yet soul-stolen by the sea of stone, 
Could those storms stitch the sublime shimmer sinking through, 
Silent yet sudden, secretly sensational, 
I’ll play the rays you lusciously left longing for this momentum, 
Breathing brassy beams barely breakable by the blades of the blaze,
Teach me the tunes of your truth, 
Call me into your chaos with my delusions, 
Kiss me when the sun sleeps, 
Wear me as the moon dreams, 
Hold the crying clouds over the vengeance of our vulnerabilities,
The furious fall is further than we dare speak of,
Let your bones bear the crown I seek to bestow, 
For the bolted iron ornaments house the hologram of my ebony emerald enchantments.

Dear Lioness, Congrats on POTD, which has such a rich, dark romanticism that draws me directly into the shadows where passion and vulnerability feel most authentic. Such raw courage it takes to invite someone directly into your chaos, holding space for tears and shared vulnerability even when the fall feels terrifyingly steep. A wonderfully passionate and evocative work of art. Warmest blessings to you, Lioness Onpaper. Daniel
