Night-Light

Whisper to me winsome 
      wind of night...
Romance me with your 
      guile of pale moonlight.
Let me hear the 
      ocean's melody
Singing softly to 
      set my spirit free.
Night blooming Jasmine 
      scent the humid air...
Serenely, I'll enjoy night 
      without a care.
Oh night with stars aglow, 
      this feeling you instill,
Such ambience to free 
      my heart, my will...
To uncloak the stringent 
      shadows of the day...
I surrender; let any sad 
      emotions steal away.

I write my poem first then search for an image to fit it and I usually get lucky. Thank you Joe. ; )

Paul Callus Date: 6/13/2016 10:38:00 AM Like your previous poem 'waves', this one also relates to the ocean song. You present such a lovely picture...wind, sea, stars, moon; ideal to transmit overpowering emotions.
