Night Drapes Slowly

Night drapes slowly around velvety skin and gives comfort to an unfolding heart As passion's eyes enclose time, we begin, to foster love, so it will never part The quiet vaulted sky reflects moon's glow and overlays your face in silken gold That keeps your smile like a frozen tableau Gentle to my eyes, so that they may hold Lost, descending in a world uncovered Two journey to the center of souls, still To seek delightful peace, undiscovered and complete the emptiness they fill The morning will pour across lighter gray As shades with clear boundaries slip away
